Van Buren County 90
Opportunities to find 90 acres with this combination of recreation, hunting, timber, water, and wildlife habitat are hard to come by.

This property offers something for everyone, featuring mature timber, nearly 5 acres of established food plots, tillable/CRP ground, an established trail system, a creek running through the property, and a beautiful 1/2-acre pond perfect for fishing, kayaking, swimming, or simply relaxing by the water.

For the hunter, the property provides excellent habitat for whitetails and a variety of other wildlife. Mature bucks, turkey, pheasants, grouse, and quail are all present. The combination of mature timber, food plots, water, creek corridors, and cover creates an attractive environment for wildlife throughout the year.

Adding even more value, the property connects to approximately 440 acres of Van Buren County-managed Wildlife Area, providing an extensive neighboring wildlife habitat and additional recreational opportunities.

A build site with the pond within walking distance gives you the opportunity to create your own private hunting camp, weekend getaway, family retreat, or permanent residence. Imagine spending fall mornings in the timber, afternoons fishing or kayaking, and evenings enjoying the property with family and friends.

The mature timber has an estimated $20,000 in timber value, while the existing CRP contract provides an additional source of income and adds further value to the property.

Conveniently located less than 32 minutes from Ottumwa, approximately 21 minutes from Fairfield, and only 15 minutes from Keosauqua, you can enjoy the privacy of a country retreat while remaining close to town.

With 90 acres of timber, water, food plots, trails, wildlife habitat, and recreational opportunity, this property offers a rare chance to own your own piece of Southeast Iowa.

Sellers are licensed real estate agents and have personal interest in the property.
