For the outdoor enthusiast, this farm is a true hunting gem. The rolling terrain supports mature Walnut and Oak timber, a year-round creek, and a half-acre pond that could easily be expanded or stocked. A small food plot is already cleared on the north end of the pasture, and with multiple access points from three sides, hunters can effectively manage for prevailing northwest winds. Deer and turkey are abundant, making this a great opportunity for a turn-key recreational retreat.
The property also presents an excellent build site opportunity, with utilities at the road and scenic views overlooking the timber and pastures. Whether you envision a full-time residence, weekend getaway, or hunting cabin, the setting provides endless potential. An old farmhouse remains on-site and is being sold as-is, requiring significant updates or demolition. Any septic updates will be the responsibility of the buyer if the home is retained.
Located in the heart of Madison County, this property offers quiet country living just minutes from the famous Covered Bridges, John Wayne Birthplace & Museum, and local wineries. Enjoy the character of historic Winterset and the convenience of easy access to the Des Moines metro area.
