Lee County, Iowa | 82 Acre Hunting & Hobby Farm
This 81.84-acre combination farm in Lee County checks all the boxes. Just northeast of Donnellson and only two miles off Highway 218, it offers the perfect balance of secluded hunting ground, income-producing acres, and lifestyle opportunity. Whether youre after trophy whitetail, spring gobblers, or a place to build a home in the country with quick access to town, this farm delivers.
The land is a well-balanced mix of tillable and timber. With 27 acres of mature timber and a branch of Sugar Creek running through the property, deer naturally travel east and west along the creek and pinch points. The interior crop field, tucked between timber, acts as a secluded food plot where deer stage before moving to surrounding ag fields. This setup allows for hunting multiple wind directions and makes the farm a consistent producer for both deer and turkey.

In addition to its hunting appeal, the farm generates income. There are 54.8 FSA cropland acres, 24.3 acres of row crop, an average of 55.4 CSR2, mostly Nodaway Silt Loam, and 26.3 acres of alfalfa, which could be transitioned into additional row crop. Another 2.6 acres are enrolled in CRP, paying about $459 annually. The farm is currently open for the 2026 crop year but there is interest in a cash rent lease. With some existing tile and good access, this property blends recreation with return.
For buyers looking beyond hunting, this also sets up well for a hobby farm or future home site. Its just 4 miles from Donnellson, 7 miles from Fort Madison, 20 miles from Burlington, and 16 miles from the Missouri borderoffering privacy without being far from amenities.
