Wapello County - TBD 28th Street, Ottumwa, IA
Over the last eight years, the owner of this farm has taken bucks scoring 186, 193, and 195. This is a proven property that's been dialed in by a high-level deer manager, and if you've been waiting for a no-brainer opportunity in this competitive market, consider acting decisively.A few key factors set this farm apart. First, it's located in the right neighborhood. Even the best-looking farms won't produce consistently if they're surrounded by poor habitat or difficult neighbors. This one sits in a pocket where mature bucks are taken every year.Second, the layout is clean and effective, with two food plot locations that simplify your approach. It helps eliminate the scenario where you're bouncing around the farm and burning spots while trying to zero in on a specific buck. In many cases, simple is better!Third, the farm is invisible to outsiders. There's no road frontage, and the north access is hidden by a hillside. This keeps pressure low and gives a sense of seclusion that's hard to find, which personally is my favorite aspect of my own land. It's a great experience to own a place where you can vanish away.An archery stand on the south end sits in what the owner calls the best pinch point he's ever hunted. He's taken several big deer there as they cruise the drainage east to west during the rut. It's the kind of setup where spending a solid week in November gives you a real chance at a mature buck. And if you continue to set up the farm for late season like the seller has, you'll have lights-out cold-weather hunts.The north end offers a great spot for a cabin, with driveway access and a beautiful view to the south. Just to the west, there's a stocked pond that you would own as well.This is a well-rounded hunting property with a documented history of producing big deer. The area also holds a strong turkey population, making spring hunts another reason to be here. Smaller, high-quality hunting farms that are priced right normally go fastif this one has your attention, it's smart to make a move!If you're interested, contact listing agent Ben Harshyne with the Southeast Iowa Land Team at Whitetail Properties Real Estate.

Wapello County - 000 15th St, Ottumwa, IA
Opportunities to own a balanced hunting and recreational property at this size and price point are becoming increasingly difficult to find. This 48-acre tract offers a diverse landscape with approximately one-third in timber, open pasture, and native grasses, complemented by two small ponds and 100 feet of elevation change. Positioned as a natural transition corridor between expansive timber and agricultural land to the northwest and east, this property sets up exceptionally well cruising whitetails.
Strategic Hunting Potential
With the right habitat enhancements, this farm can become a prime whitetail destination. A secluded food plot in the northwest corner and along the eastern edge would capitalize on the natural movement of deer traveling from bedding to feeding areas. A timbered draw on the property also creates ideal northwest bedding, further increasing the property's hunting potential.
Versatile Land Use & Build Potential
Beyond its hunting appeal, this property presents multiple opportunities for landowners. Whether you're interested in raising livestock, establishing native prairie habitat, or building a secluded country home, this farm provides a strong foundation for customization. Located just minutes from Ottumwa, it offers convenient access while maintaining privacy and seclusion.
Property Features:
-48.08 acres of diverse terrain
-Two small ponds for water sources and habitat

Hunting & Recreation
The owner has already cleared a 1.5-acre food plot, ready to be planted this spring, so the groundwork is in place to hold more deer on the farm. There are also trails at the back of the property, and with a little work to connect them, you could have a solid trail system for easy access, riding, or hiking.
Building Potential
If youre looking for a place to build, utilities are already at the road, and theres a great spot up front that would make for an ideal home site. Whether you want a house, cabin, or weekend getaway, this property gives you options while still keeping plenty of timber and space to enjoy.
