PRICE REDUCED!! When you’re in the market for a compact property, location and layout are everything. This one is literally jammed against 1,400 acres of the no-hunting sanctuary that is the Lake Darling Wildlife Refuge. In it, deer can stay safe and grow old without relentless hunting pressure. This tract sets up perfectly to hunt the northerly or westerly winds that bring the cold weather and prime hunting conditions. Planting a variety of early and late season food sources on the western edge of this property will set you up for drawing them out of the refuge. Twenty-eight of the 33 acres are currently enrolled in CRP, bringing in a return income of just over $4,000/year. Sometimes you don’t need a big property to enjoy a great hunting season, and this one is a textbook example. Land that touches Lake Darling hardly ever hits the open market.

Sometimes you don’t need a big property to enjoy a great hunting season, and this one is a textbook example. Land that touches Lake Darling hardly ever hits the open market. The partially finished 5,280 square foot stick framed building is a half-built canvas for a premier hunting lodge, beautiful home, business, or farm headquarters. Its sits on high-end colored concrete and is sheltered by a durable metal roof. Electricity is at the site and plumbing is roughed in as well; awaiting siding, insulation, and interior finish work. If you didn’t need all of the square footage for the home, you could convert some of the space into an attached garage. Finish the construction and enjoy classic Southern Iowa sunsets as you look west over the income-producing native grasses and stocked pond. I look forward to giving you a tour of this outstanding property. Call me today.
