1496 Hwy T61

This 65± acre tract in Appanoose County, Iowa offers an exceptional combination of quality whitetail habitat, income potential, and future build opportunities. Split from a larger, meticulously managed farm, this parcel retains many of the improvements that make the original property truly turnkey. The land includes established food plots, well-positioned blinds, and strategically designed access trails that allow efficient movement throughout the farm while maintaining excellent security cover for wildlife. The rolling topography creates natural pinch points and travel corridors, making it an outstanding hunting setup. A diverse habitat mix of timber, native grasses, brush, and water sources supports strong deer and turkey populations. Approximately 5 acres are currently in hay production, providing immediate income, with opportunities to expand tillable acreage if desired. With hard surface road access and utilities available, this tract also checks the boxes for a future home or cabin site. The location is tough to beat—just a short drive to Lake Rathbun and Lake Wapello, and bordered by Stevens State Forest, giving you seamless access to additional public recreational ground. For out-of-state buyers or those wanting a hands-off ownership experience, the seller is willing to stay on as a property manager, helping maintain habitat improvements and food plots. Larger tracts with this level of care, location, and versatility are rarely available.
