Don’t miss out on this opportunity to own your slice of Southern Iowa land. Very few acreages of this size and makeup come to the market in Montgomery County, and when they do, they don’t usually last long. This property has it all: income, hunting, multiple ponds, rolling hills, building sites, and timber!
As you approach the property, you’ll notice the picturesque neighborhood of rolling hills, tillable fields, pastures, and timber tracts, all of which speak to the diversity of this area in Southern Iowa. This property has several established driveways that give an easy approach to multiple portions of the farm. There are currently 122.19 acres enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program, paying $25,076 annually. 34.69 of those acres are enrolled through 2026, and 87.5 of those acres are enrolled through 2032. This provides an incredible source of income and return on your investment! The CRP acres have been properly managed, and a portion was allowed to be cut for hay last fall. After the CRP expires, the owner could always apply for re-enrollment or convert the acres back into row-crop production, pasture, or whatever the new owner desired.
A staple on this property is the beautiful pond located close to the center of the property. This is in a perfect location and could have many different uses for the new owner. Fishing with the family, recreational use, a great location for a cabin getaway, or the backyard of your dream home could all be realistic uses with the area of the pond. There is also one other pond that is partially on the property and could be utilized by the new owner. These ponds also provide a constant water source for wildlife, and geese have also been seen using them.
The combination of CRP grasses, wooded draws, and several portions of timber provide this area with a solid deer population and would make for a great hunting property. The property hasn’t recently been hunted and would be a clean slate if the new owner wanted a hunting farm. Multiple gobblers were heard, and many deer were seen the morning of filming the property. With the cover of CRP grasses, upland bird hunting is also a possibility. This property would be a great fit for all recreational activities with an open layout. Riding ATVs, horseback riding, camping, fishing, or if you just wanted a country getaway to take friends and family to escape the hustle of everyday life, this may be a great fit for you.
This property has three different sides of access. The West border is a quality gravel road; the South border is a minimum maintenance road; and there's a driveway on the Northeast corner of the property at the bend in the road. With power and fiber on the road, if you were ever looking for a perfect location to build your dream home, multiple places would make incredible building sites overlooking the rolling hills of Iowa. If one wanted to build, one could wait for the CRP contract to expire or buy out that portion of the agreement before the expiration date.
If you’re looking for a beautiful vacant land property with a high return on investment, hunting/recreational opportunities, and incredible views, look no further than this picturesque property. In this area, properties like this don’t hit the open market often! Give Land Specialist Kyle Karcher a call to schedule your private showing—showings by appointment only.
