Southern Iowa Land For Sale

This beautiful 24.47 Acres +/- property is chock full of features: Scenic Ridgetop Views, Good Deer Hunting, 3 BR/2 BA Manufactured Home, Horse Barn & Pasture, near Public Horse Trails, and Quiet and Secluded but less than ½ mile from Hwy. 65 pavement, 11 miles from Chariton and all services, and an easy commute to work at 29 miles to Indianola and 47 miles to Des Moines!

This would make a good hobby farm, and is already set up nicely for horses, with a 40×60 metal Horse Barn with concrete floor, built in 2010, complete with 4 box stalls, wash bay, and tack room. There is a fenced “horse pasture lot” that is approximately 2 ½ acres, with a 12×24 covered lean-to shelter. The property is only 2 miles east from the special equestrian campground and miles of horseback riding trails in the Whitebreast Unit of the Stephens State Forest!

The property has perimeter fencing on all but the south side, and would be easy to finish. There is currently a verbal arrangement with a local farmer to hay the pasture and split the bales with the owner.

There is a great history of big bucks on the property and incredible hunting opportunity literally “right out the back door!” There is a healthy turkey population as well! The property is in well-known Iowa Nonresident Deer Zone 5. There’s a great spot for a food plot on the south end of the property at the absolute most hidden possible spot!

The 2,100 sq ft, 3 BR/2 BA, 1 story frame manufactured home, built in 2000, has a full, unfinished basement with concrete foundation and concrete poured walls, 2-car attached garage, Central A/C & Forced Air Propane furnace & hot water heater, wood fireplace, and 2 covered porches. The entire interior of the house was repainted in 2019, all the flooring was replaced with waterproof laminate flooring, significant remodeling was done in the kitchen with new countertops and cabinets, and a new vanity was installed in the master bathroom. New roof shingles were installed in 2020, and the hot water heater is new from 2025. Special house features are a whirlpool tub with jets in master bathroom, kitchen with large walk-in pantry, massive master bedroom with large walk-in closet, and ability to use either an electric or a propane stovetop oven (current stove is electric). There is a propane hot water heater and the 500 gallon propane tank is owned, not leased. Clarke County Electric co-op provides the electric service and there is Rathbun Rural Water. The stovetop oven and refrigerator will stay with home. The property has beautiful flowers and landscaping, and there is also a 10×12 potting shed for tools and small equipment.

The property is located on a good gravel road, under ½ mile to pavement at State Hwy. 65, 11 miles to Chariton and all major services, 19 miles to Osceola and I-35, 29 miles to Indianola, 47 miles to Des Moines.

This truly is a perfect country home with all the benefits of peace, quiet, and beauty, but still with an easy commute to work and pavement less than ½ mile away!

Someone will get a very special property, why shouldn’t it be you?
