Incredibly rare opportunity to purchase a rural property with true
recreational, agricultural, and residential potential just off paved Highway
34, less than one mile from the Albia city limits. This 72± acre tract offers
outstanding Iowa trophy whitetail and turkey hunting, with thick timber, a
creek travel corridor, scattered brush thickets, and rolling hay and pasture
ground that create natural habitat and strong movement patterns. The diverse
terrain includes ridges, valleys, and elevation changes that not only enhance
the property’s hunting potential but also provide truly breathtaking views and
a rugged, scenic landscape rarely found this close to town.
Surrounded by large blocks of timber with minimal nearby food sources, the
farm is well-positioned for adding large destination food plots to draw and
hold the area’s hefty deer population. With multiple legal access points, rural
water and electric nearby, and several ideal building site options, this
property checks a rare combination of boxes. Whether you’re looking to build a
rural home, create a private hunting retreat, or establish a hobby farm, this
tract offers serious potential to shape into something long-term and
meaningful. Located in a highly desirable area just 75 miles from Des Moines
and 20 miles from Ottumwa, it’s hard to overstate the demand for properties
like this—close to town, with pavement access, privacy, and recreation all in
one place.
Seller would entertain offers on smaller tracts, subject to survey
opportunity and county requirements.
