Description
This Wapello County acreage checks every box for the buyer who wants a well-kept home, a top-tier shop, and an improved hunting property all in one package. Located just 8 miles northwest of Ottumwa, 12 miles southeast of Eddyville, and 77 miles from Des Moines, it offers peaceful country living while being in close proximity to town and with quick access to pavement only a half mile away.
The farm itself is a well-balanced mix of timber and tillable acres, anchored by a timber stand of multiple hardwood and bottomland species. A creek winds north to south through the property, creating a natural travel corridor that consistently funnels deer movement. The landowner has invested heavily in habitat work, including TSI, invasive species removal, and trail improvements, giving the farm a clean, healthy feel and excellent access throughout the timber. Pinch points and improved south-facing and bottom-ground bedding combine to offer a hunting setup that feels much larger than its size.
Just off the east side of the timber are roughly five acres of established food plots planted in a productive mix of corn, beans, brassicas, and clover. A Banks blind overlooking one of the clover fields stays with the property and provides a comfortable hunting experience. With high-quality food, water, bedding, and natural terrain funnels, it’s the type of smaller hunting tract that consistently produces opportunities at some great Southern Iowa bucks. A stocked pond near the home adds another water source for wildlife and a great place to take the kids fishing.
The home is a well-maintained open-concept manufactured residence offering over 2,100 square feet, four bedrooms, and two bathrooms. Built in 2000 and recently updated with a newer roof, new septic system, upgraded landscaping, and a new 1,000-gallon propane tank, it’s move-in ready and has a warm, welcoming feel. Out back, a new 18-foot pool and deck offer the perfect spot to enjoy summer evenings.
For those who appreciate a high-end shop, this one will stand out. The brand-new 1,800-square-foot building is fully climate-controlled and finished with polyurea-coated floors, French drains, three smart garage door openers, and a screened 9-foot pull-down doorway with a walk-through door. It's the ultimate space for equipment, ATVs, hunting gear, or year-round projects. A remodeled single-stall garage nearby adds even more storage with updated roofing, siding, electrical, and a coated concrete floor.
This is a great opportunity to own a clean, well-cared-for acreage that offers great hunting, quality improvements, and a setting that feels private yet convenient. If you’d like to take a closer look, give Hersh Smith, your Whitetail Properties Land Specialist, a call.
