Southern Iowa Land For Sale

If you’ve ever dreamed about finding the quintessential southern Iowa country farmstead, it doesn’t get much more quintessential than this. This 40.1 acres property in Lucas County is by far one of the most scenic properties I’ve ever listed, and I’ve also never gotten so many quality bucks on trail camera in one location in one week on one property before! Last property on the gravel road before it turns into dirt, totally out in the country with peace and quiet and yet only 4 miles from both Hwy. 65 and Hwy. 34, and only 7 miles from Chariton and all conveniences!

This property checks the boxes for any number of different buyers. Beautiful smaller property in the country with great hunting, off-grid cabin (with rural water already hooked up), barn space for equipment storage, and alfalfa hay acres for potential income. Completely perimeter fenced so a great property for a hobby farm, or great horse property with a barn with horse stalls and a covered riding arena! Potential home building sites with incredible sunrise views. Or make upgrades to the current cabin and turn it into a dream country home.  Wonderful quiet location to raise a family and have your own farmstead, complete with a few fruit trees and an established garden spot with black, fertile dirt!

This property in Iowa Nonresident Deer Zone 5 is what so many hunters are searching for. Enough acres to provide good hunting, but small enough to be affordable. Nice mix of woods and open areas. Approximately 19 acres of Alfalfa fields that can be used for income production to help go towards paying the mortgage or for farm projects, or turned into hidden and secure food plots for deer, or standing corn and beans for late Winter food. Ag fields and connecting deer habitat in the immediate vicinity. Easy access to all areas of the property for morning and evening hunts and huntable with any wind direction. Existing off-grid hunting cabin with rural water, hot water set-up for the shower, and electric available right at the road. And one of the most important things? Current presence of more than a few quality, mature bucks! Just check out the trail camera photos and video clips with this listing, all taken in late August, 2026. And who knows what extra bucks will come on to the property in the rut with a long, wooded drainage traversing the entire property from north to south.

Buildings on the property include: Off-grid 2,092 sq ft, 2 BR/1 BA off-grid cabin (ceiling, floor, walls insulated) with rural water hooked up, hot water set-up for shower, wood stove, and electric available right at the road; 30×72 hoop barn with 6 – 12×12 box stalls for horses, connected to a 20×28 Wash bay; 48×56 covered riding arena; 40×100 storage/shop building with 14’ lean-to, 12×16 playhouse, and 8×12 garden shed.

Someone will get a real gem of a property with this offering, why shouldn’t it be you?
