This Davis County property offers an outstanding opportunity for hunting, fishing, and a prime building site—all in one. The tract consists of 10 wooded acres, featuring a beautiful pond and an ideal homesite positioned on an elevated ridge overlooking the water. The landscape provides a great mix of scenery and habitat, making it both functional and enjoyable.

Conveniently located just 2.5 miles north of Highway 2 and West Grove, the property sits 11 miles west of Bloomfield, 19 miles east of Centerville, and approximately 92 miles from the Des Moines metro area.

One of the most appealing aspects of this property is how much it offers within a manageable 10-acre footprint. Much of the groundwork has already been completed for a future home. The dirt work has been done, and a driveway is in place, and both electricity and water are already available on-site. The established building site has been leveled and is ready for construction, with additional space along the ridge to the west for a shop, garage, or other outbuildings to fit your needs.

The homesite sits just 40–50 yards uphill from the pond, creating a scenic and functional layout. As you move north and east across the property, the terrain transitions into attractive ridges and gently flowing low ground. This diversity provides excellent habitat and natural travel corridors for deer, while the abundance of mature oak trees offers ideal roosting areas for turkeys.

In addition to its recreational appeal, the property features quality timber with potential value that could be selectively harvested. The layout and timber composition also make it well-suited for mushroom hunting in the spring.

The building site is tucked back into the timber and offers no visibility from the road. From this vantage point, you can overlook the pond and take in long-distance views of the surrounding wooded hillsides to the south—scenery that is difficult to replicate in this area.

Wildlife is abundant throughout the property. Waterfowl frequent the stocked pond, and the open timber understory—shaded by mature oaks—makes the land highly usable and easy to navigate. With minimal underbrush, the property is well-suited for recreation, whether it’s hiking, hunting, or simply enjoying time outdoors with family.

The area is well-known for producing quality whitetails, and the property itself shows strong deer activity with established trails, bedding areas, and natural movement corridors. With some strategic timber management, the habitat could be further enhanced to create an even stronger hunting setup.

Whether you’re searching for a ready-to-build homesite with utilities in place, a manageable hunting property, or a versatile recreational tract to enjoy with family, this property checks all the boxes.
