Description
Here’s a chance to own a nicely sized wooded acreage with a home and outbuilding on a paved road. It’s not every day you find a small tract with this kind of potential. Whether you're looking for a place to build, hunt, or settle down in a convenient part of southeast Iowa, this property offers several great paths forward.
Located less than five miles south of Fairfield in Jefferson County, the 20-acre tract sits along Highway 1 in a highly accessible location.
The land is a beautiful woodland with mature oak trees scattered throughout—a classic southeast Iowa timber that feels peaceful and wild all at once. It lies well for a smaller hunting property, with solid habitat for deer, turkeys, and other wildlife. There are also multiple build sites tucked deeper into the woods that could make for an incredible secluded homestead.
The existing home was built in 1954 and offers approximately 1,100 square feet on the main level and 700 square feet upstairs. It has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a functional layout with good bones—but it’s ready for some updates. A detached two-car garage sits just behind the home, and there's a nice backyard space to enjoy.
Two Field & Stream elevated box blinds come with the property, one located on a 0.3-acre hidden food plot on the north side, and another on the extensive trail that winds through the property along the southern edge back to the east line.
This property will likely appeal to two types of buyers: someone looking for an affordable home on land who’s willing to put in some work to make it their own, or someone who sees the potential to remove the existing home and build new, farther back in the timber.
