Property Description

Located in southern Clarke County, this versatile 49 +/- acre tract offers an attractive combination of income potential, recreational opportunity, and long-term flexibility. Situated approximately 1.5 miles from paved roads, the property is conveniently located about 7 miles from Osceola, 9 miles from Murray, and 49 miles from West Des Moines, making it well suited for a weekend retreat, recreational property, or land investment. Approximately 40 FSA acres are currently enrolled in CRP through September 2026, generating approximately $7,200 in annual income. Following expiration of the existing contract, the property may offer several future-use options, including potential CRP reenrollment, conversion back to row-crop production, pasture use, or management focused on a combination of income and wildlife habitat. For the recreational buyer, the surrounding neighborhood features a strong mix of agricultural ground and wildlife habitat. Natural draws and rolling contours throughout the property create character while providing a solid foundation for future habitat improvements. Strategically placed food plots, additional cover, and other improvements could further enhance hunting opportunities for whitetail deer, upland birds, and other wildlife. The property also offers a potential pond location, creating another opportunity to add water, improve wildlife habitat, and further develop the tract into a well-rounded recreational getaway.
