This 128± acre Southern Iowa farm offers a strong combination of hunting,
recreation, and income-producing land in a highly regarded area just north of
Iconium. Located in Monroe County near the Appanoose County line and within 3±
miles of Rathbun Lake, this property sits in the heart of some of Iowa’s most
well-known hunting and recreational destinations, with close proximity to
Moravia and Melrose.

The farm presents a well-balanced mix of open land enrolled in CRP,
rolling terrain, and diverse timber and brush cover. The habitat includes a
combination of older timber along with 15–25 year old tree plantings, creating
ideal bedding, cover, and natural travel corridors that consistently hold and
move deer throughout the property. Surrounded by larger tracts with limited
ownership and low hunting pressure, this farm has a proven track record for
producing quality whitetails.

through two CRP contracts totaling approximately $13,805 annually. The first
contract includes 89± acres generating $12,550 annually and expires 9-30-2030.

income and excellent wildlife habitat.

A 2.5± acre pond serves as a central feature of the property—set up with
natural structure and offering excellent fishing potential, along with strong
recreational appeal. The surrounding terrain and cover create an ideal setting
for year-round use. In addition, the farm includes two smaller ponds that
further enhance the property’s usability and wildlife value.

The layout and topography also present strong potential for future
building sites. With selective CRP adjustments or buyout, this farm could offer
highly attractive locations for a home or cabin overlooking the property.

hunting, and long-term recreational and investment value, all within minutes of
Rathbun Lake and the amenities the area provides.
