Description
Here's a chance to own a nicely sized wooded acreage with a home on a paved road. It's not every day you find a smaller 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, this 20-acre site sits along Highway 1 in a highly accessible location. The land is a beautiful woodland with big mature oaks scattered about, it's a classic southeast Iowa timber that feels peaceful and wild all at once. It lays out well for a smaller hunting property with solid habitat for deer, turkeys, and other wildlife. There's also multiple build sites tucked deeper into the woods that could make for an incredible secluded home site.
The existing home, built in 1954, offers about 1,100 square feet on the main level and 700 square feet upstairs. It has three bedrooms and two bathrooms and is a functional layout with good bones, but it's ready for some updates. A detached two-car garage sits beside the home, and there's a nice backyard space to enjoy.
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 future potential to remove the existing home and build a new one further back into the timber. If you're interested in this listing, don't hesitate to get in touch with the listing agent, Ben Harshyne, with Whitetail Properties Real Estate.
