Monroe County Recreational Land for Sale

This 21± acre Southern Iowa property offers a true recreational setup in
a manageable size, centered around a 2.5± acre pond with timber, brush, and
strong wildlife habitat. Located just north of Iconium in Monroe County—near
the Appanoose County line and a short drive to Moravia and Melrose—this tract
sits in the heart of some of Iowa’s most well-known hunting and recreational
areas, just 3± miles from Rathbun Lake.

Whether you’re looking for a weekend basecamp or a place to enjoy
year-round, this property offers the ability to step away from lake traffic
while staying just minutes from boating, dining, and recreation at Rathbun.

The farm is small in size but offers solid hunting potential. A timbered
draw wraps the pond and is loaded with thick brush, creating ideal bedding
cover and natural travel corridors that consistently funnel wildlife through
the property. The area is known for quality whitetail genetics, and this tract
offers a realistic opportunity to hunt mature deer in a controlled,
low-pressure setting.

The 2.5± acre pond is a standout feature—set up with natural structure
and loaded with fish, offering excellent fishing right out your back door. The
surrounding layout also supports additional recreational use including camping,
trail riding, and general outdoor enjoyment.

The property offers 9.36 acres of CRP with annual payments of $995.31
from two contracts expiring in 2030 & 2040. With some light improvement,
the south end of the property offers attractive potential building sites for a
cabin or home subject to buy-out of CRP acres. There is also room to establish
multiple camping locations, making it a great setup for group gatherings.

This is a well-rounded Southern Iowa “play place” combining hunting,
fishing, and recreational use in one property, with immediate access to Rathbun
Lake and everything the area has to offer.

Property is sold subject to survey. Listing Agents/Brokerage Owners are
