Description

Tucked into a quiet corner of Washington County, this 40-acre property offers a rare chance to step into a brand-new home and shop, surrounded by a beautiful mix of open ground and mature oak-hickory timber. It’s turnkey, well-built, and located right next to our 511-acre Springtown Farm, which sells at auction on August 13. Whether you’re looking for a basecamp next to the big farm or a standalone country home, this one checks a lot of boxes.

The home was finished in 2024 and designed with both style and function. It’s a 1,680 sq ft ranch with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The exterior features a clean white finish with black soffit, fascia, windows, and trim—a sharp, timeless look that carries through the interior. The main level includes white oak LVP flooring in the living areas, carpeted bedrooms, and an open-concept layout. The primary suite consists of a full bath with double sinks and a large walk-in closet. A walk-in pantry, main-level mudroom with laundry, and concrete front porch add daily convenience.

The full basement is unfinished, plumbed for a third bathroom, and ready to finish to your specs. Utilities include a new well, LP, water softener, and reverse osmosis system.

Just behind the house is a 40x64 insulated shop with a concrete floor, two overhead doors, and a covered side porch—perfect for equipment, storage, and year-round workspace.

The yard includes a young oak tree planting and two stocked ponds. It’s a peaceful setting with just the right mix of function and character.

The land features approximately 18 open acres enrolled in an expiring CRP contract, offering future flexibility. The balance is in mature timber that provides habitat for great whitetail, turkey, pheasant, and quail. With access from the north, west, and south, it hunts much larger than its size. A hidden cove on the south side offers a natural food plot location and strong edge habitat.

This is a rare setup: a brand-new home and shop on 40 acres in one of southeast Iowa’s most desirable hunting areas—with the option to purchase the 511 farm that is selling on August 13th, right next door.
