Property Description
This rolling 40 gross Acre m/l multi-use property in the southwest corner of Marion County has a great mix of features, with established tillable crop income, pasture for cattle grazing, wildlife/hunting opportunities and some truly beautiful ridgetop views of the surrounding countryside for a potential weekend country getaway cabin or even potentially a home building site! The property has good gravel road access from 3 directions and is located just over 2 miles from paved Hwy. G76, 5 miles from Lacona, 7 miles from Melcher-Dallas, 20 miles from Knoxville, 27 miles from Indianola, and only 41 miles from Des Moines. This is part of a larger 93.51 acres +/- farm but is available to be purchased as a 40 acre parcel.
The 40 acre property has approximately 7.69 acres currently in farm production, with an average csr2 soil rating of 65.1. The crop acres are leased for the 2024 season and open for 2025 season. Property buyer will take physical possession of land at closing and full possession subject to expiration of farm tenant rights the last day of February, 2025. 2024 crop cash rent income for the portion of rented acres within the 40 acres is estimated at $1,685 and would be pro-rated to buyer from date of new deed recording to 12/1/24.
The property has some timbered drainages, small woodlots and an established local population of deer and turkey using the property (see trail camera photos and video clips accompanying listing and for larger 93.51 acre property in total). In addition there are large timbered areas on neighboring properties, with the crops on this property serving as a good centralized food source for deer in the neighborhood and a certain gathering place during the rut. There are great options for leaving some small areas of standing crop to attract deer in hunting season and throughout the Winter, plus some open areas that could be potential small food plots. With the food already here, the property is kind of a blank slate to improve the hunting opportunities and with some time and sweat equity the deer carrying capacity could definitely be increased with some tree and/or native warm season grasses habitat projects.
This part of Marion County has rolling topography and there are some beautiful views that might make for a potential getaway cabin or home building site with a great view of both the sunrise and sunset, and peace, quiet and seclusion galore.
