Here’s a chance to own a great 40 acres of southeast Iowa hunting land! This secluded timber sits between Donnellson and Argyle, conveniently under two miles from Highway 27. It’s about 20 minutes from the Illinois border and an hour and fifteen minutes from the Iowa City area. Seclusion, big deer, turkeys, hardwoods, and $0 property taxes is what this property provides!

The key feature that makes this land so effective for hunting is its location—it sits dead in the center of the section, completely hidden from any roads. Access comes from a county right-of-way running just over a half mile from the western gravel road, along with an easement through the neighboring 80 acres to reach the west side of the property. The terrain is gently rolling, with enough topography to naturally create pinch points for tree stand setups.

This property is the closest quality cover to several large, secluded crop fields, which naturally draws deer. A food plot and a waterhole are established in the northeast corner, creating a solid staging setup for bow season.

The trail camera history confirms that mature bucks are here. The seller created a trail system around the perimeter, which helps direct movement, simplifies stand access, and is a good camera location. The timber is a classic southern Iowa woodland, with a cedar thicket next to the plot, and a mix of hardwoods, including oaks.

The property is in the Forest Reserve, which means no annual property tax! It’s also a very efficient layout—nearly all acres are usable timber, with no wasted ground.

This could be a great fit for buyers looking for a smaller but highly effective hunting property—one you can count on for mature deer and turkey every fall.
