Here is a fantastic opportunity to own a beautiful hunting property with income, a great building site, and paved road frontage—an uncommon combination in southern Iowa!
Located just west of Keosauqua along Highway J40, 160 acres of this farm are secluded in the center of the section, with 10 acres near the road providing a buffer and convenient access. A gated, level driveway leads to a 40x60 machine shed with a concrete floor. This site is ready for a home or cabin, offering stunning, dramatic landscape views. Rathbun rural water and electricity are on-site, with high-speed fiber internet at the entrance.
Van Buren County is a well-known whitetail destination, and the current owners have set this farm up as a turn-key hunting property. A well-maintained 3.5-mile trail system provides easy access for habitat management, food plots, and game retrieval. Seven food plots are strategically positioned, including a central grain field and secluded green plots, with three hunting blinds included in the sale. Trail camera history confirms a history of mature bucks, abundant wild turkey, and great off-season finds like morel mushrooms and artifacts.
The farm generates over $15,790 annually from the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), with native grass fields and 80+ acres of tree CRP. More than 70 acres of this habitat are south-facing, making for prime bedding cover. The green plots and a large central destination field create an ideal hunting setup, naturally drawing deer toward the property's core. Its location in a prime travel corridor ensures that as bucks roam in November, this farm will see an influx of new deer. Whether you're chasing early-season archery opportunities, peak rut action, or late-season food source patterns, this property delivers.
With its proven hunting potential, established infrastructure, and a well-equipped build site with utilities already in place, this is an outstanding opportunity to invest in high-quality recreational land.
