Description
Whitetail Properties Real Estate is honored to present an opportunity to own one of the nicest building sites we’ve ever offered in southeast Iowa. Located on the north edge of Keokuk, IA, this well-planned country acreage has pristine hardwood ridges on a private lake. This property has the perfect terrain to build the home of your dreams in one of the most beautiful settings you’ll find.
The property is 51.8 surveyed acres and has private road access. The best place to build is an arrowhead-shaped oak ridge wrapped on two sides by Horseshoe Lake. This private body of water was constructed in the late 1960s and is approximately 12 acres. It has access to highway 218 and utilities and offers great deer and turkey hunting. This property also has frontage on McDowell Lake, which is approximately 20 acres. The lakes are stocked with crappie, bass, and sunfish, and trolling motors are allowed. It's only accessible to the homeowner association members.
When the owner built the lakes, he had Rathbun Water, electricity, and natural gas service installed around the lakes, so utilities are in place. A covenant on the deed disallows the property for commercial purposes or building a recreational campground. If you’ve been waiting years for an opportunity to own a property with a lake to build next to, don’t let this chance slip away. Call the listing agent Ben Harshyne to schedule a private showing.
