Hunting & Recreational Farm – Wapello County, Iowa

Opportunities to own a balanced hunting and recreational property at this size and price point are becoming increasingly difficult to find. This 48-acre tract offers a diverse landscape with approximately one-third in timber, open pasture, and native grasses, complemented by two small ponds and 100 feet of elevation change. Positioned as a natural transition corridor between expansive timber and agricultural land to the northwest and east, this property sets up exceptionally well cruising whitetails.

Strategic Hunting Potential

With the right habitat enhancements, this farm can become a prime whitetail destination. A secluded food plot in the northwest corner and along the eastern edge would capitalize on the natural movement of deer traveling from bedding to feeding areas. A timbered draw on the property also creates ideal northwest bedding, further increasing the property’s hunting potential.

Versatile Land Use & Build Potential

Beyond its hunting appeal, this property presents multiple opportunities for landowners. Whether you’re interested in raising livestock, establishing native prairie habitat, or building a secluded country home, this farm provides a strong foundation for customization. Located just minutes from Ottumwa, it offers convenient access while maintaining privacy and seclusion.
