Description

Located in Monroe County near the Appanoose County line and just five miles
from Rathbun Lake Marina, this 160+/-acre property is a hidden gem with
significant upside. With a mix of open ground, timber, and creeks winding
through the landscape, this farm offers the ideal foundation for a premier
hunting and recreational property.

The farm consists of approximately 24 acres of alfalfa, with the remainder
in open hay/pasture ground, timber, and brush. The diverse terrain creates
excellent natural funnels and pinch points, making this an ideal setup for both
bow and gun hunting. The property is tucked into a large section of adjoining
landowners, adding to its seclusion, and enhancing its ability to attract and
hold trophy whitetails and turkeys.

Currently utilized as a pasture and hay unit with minimal development for
hunting, this property offers a raw opportunity to improve with a tremendous
upside. This tract and surrounding area is loaded with trophy game and converting
portions of the open ground into native warm-season grasses and strategically
adding food plots would significantly enhance the habitat and hunting
potential. The combination of cover, water, and natural travel corridors
already provides strong hunting opportunities, and with strategic improvements,
this farm could become an outstanding property with a little sweat equity.

In addition to its hunting potential, the farm features a great building
site along the road frontage, offering an excellent location for a cabin or
home. Its proximity to Rathbun Lake—a renowned 11,000-acre public lake known
for fishing, boating, camping, and other recreational activities—further adds
to the property’s appeal.

With a strong mix of natural habitat, agricultural potential, and
recreational access, this 160+/-acre tract in Monroe County is an excellent
opportunity for those looking to develop a top-tier hunting farm or a private
getaway near one of Iowa’s premier outdoor destinations.
