Description
Located just outside of Keokuk in a rugged part of Lee County, this timber offers extensive trail riding and can be a naturally strong hunting property. It sits just off a paved road in the far southeast corner of Iowa, allowing quick access to western Illinois and northeast Missouri. Rolling terrain, combined with hardwood timber, thick brush, and natural cover, creates the kind of place where deer can live and move without pressure. There’s a strong population of whitetails and turkeys, and the property has the elements of cover, terrain, food plot potential, and live water to fundamentally be a great hunting property.
A creek drainage runs through the center, providing a year-round water source and a natural travel corridor that ties the property together. Two hidden fields are positioned well for food plots, tucked into areas that allow you to hunt without impacting the rest of the property. It’s a setup that supports multiple winds and keeps the farm huntable deep into the season.
There are over five miles of established ATV trails, allowing you to navigate the entire tract, access stand locations, or retrieve deer efficiently. Whether you’re riding, managing habitat, or hunting, the trail system adds a huge benefit to using the entire property.
Also included is a 50x88 steel building with horse stalls. It’s usable as it sits, with a footprint that can be converted into a shop or machine shed with potential living quarters. Access comes off a hard surface road on Carbide Lane, with a permanent easement from the south via the current owner’s driveway and also an easement from the north.
This property ties directly back to the old DuPont blasting powder operation, giving it a layer of history you don’t come across very often. Remnants from what was once one of the largest black powder facilities in the world still exist throughout the area, adding character to an already strong recreational tract.
This is a well-rounded recreational farm with history, strong habitat, and a layout that gives you the ability to use it year-round. Contact land broker Ben Harshyne with The Southeast Iowa Land Team for Whitetail Properties Real Estate for more information or to schedule a showing.
