This beautiful acreage includes a cabin and pond nestled along the hills near the Skunk River in a prime location between Salem and Mount Pleasant. It’s an ideal place to use as a weekend retreat, hobby farm, home-building site, and hunting property. A private driveway from the south leads up a hill to a beautiful setting with a pond, pasture, cabin, and hardwood timber. A great stand of white oak timber here could be harvested–a very attractive tree species because of its timber value and a great food source for wildlife.

You’ll love the two-and-a-half-acre pond for fishing, swimming, or kayaking. The cabin here appears to be overbuilt. It's nice and simple, with a concrete floor, tall ceilings in the open area, and a loft upstairs; I could see somebody sprucing this cabin up and using it as a weekend retreat or taking it to the next level and renting it on VRBO or Airbnb.

This area of Henry County is renowned for its big whitetails and abundant wildlife because the landscape along the Skunk River provides the perfect terrain and habitat for deer to grow old and large! There are several places to put hidden food plots next to thick bedding covers.

This would make an amazing place to build a home with a great private setting that seems way off in the middle of nowhere. However, its proximity to Mount Pleasant, a great small town in Southeast Iowa, is very convenient. If you want to own this prime country acreage in southern Iowa, please call Ben Harshyne with Whitetail Properties Real Estate and the Southeast Iowa Land Team.
