ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This Wapello County acreage checks every box for the buyer who wants a well-kept home, a top-tier shop, and an improved hunting property all in one package. The farm itself is a well-balanced mix of timber and tillable acres, anchored by a timber stand of multiple hardwood and bottomland species. A creek winds north to south through the property, creating a natural travel corridor that consistently funnels deer movement. The landowner has invested heavily in habitat work, including TSI, invasive species removal, and trail improvements, giving the farm a clean, healthy feel and excellent access throughout the timber. Pinch points and improved south-facing and bottom-ground bedding combine to offer a hunting setup that feels much larger than its size. Just off the east side of the timber are roughly five acres of established food plots planted in a productive mix of corn, beans, brassicas, and clover. A Banks blind overlooking one of the clover fields stays with the property and provides a comfortable hunting experience. The home is a well-maintained open-concept manufactured residence offering over 2,100 square feet, four bedrooms, and two bathrooms. Built in 2000 and recently updated with a newer roof, new septic system, upgraded landscaping, and a new 1,000-gallon propane tank, it’s move-in ready and has a warm, welcoming feel. Out back, a new 18-foot pool and deck offer the perfect spot to enjoy summer evenings.
