The word “rare” is used too often in real estate, but in this case the word actually fits. This Union County property is 345 acres +/- of almost solid Timberland with quality White Oak, Red Oak, and Black Walnut, making it almost certainly one of the largest *privately held* blocks of quality timber in southern Iowa, with major investment income value for current and future Timber harvest. A forester spent 3 days here in Fall of 2025 and his final report estimated *currently* $343,000 worth of 18”+ DBH marketable timber *right now* that not only can be cut but *should* be cut to help open up the canopy and let more sunlight in. That is a pile of Timber income that is ready to be realized by the new owner! There is a plethora of younger hardwoods 10”+ that will grow into a timber cash crop for decades to come! The property has gravel road frontage with electric and rural water at the road, and is a multi-use recreational and lifestyle Gem! Great Deer & Turkey Hunting, Beautiful rolling Miles of trails for Horseback Riding, endless locations for mushroom hunting, a fishing pond, and last but certainly not least, any number of secluded and beautiful building sites There is a metal shed with primitive cooking and eating facilities, lights powered by a solar panel set-up with battery. You won’t likely find another property like this on the market in southern Iowa for years to come, if ever. Call or text the listing agent to set up your own private showing of this beautiful pro
