Beautiful build site with income and exceptional hunting/recreational value. Nestled in a private and peaceful timber setting on the east edge of Chariton, Iowa, this 69± acre Lucas County property offers an exceptional opportunity for anyone seeking a premium recreational farm, a scenic build site, or a long-term investment in one of southern Iowa’s strongest wildlife corridors. Ideally located just 54 miles south of Des Moines and only ½ mile north of Red Haw State Park, the property combines the tranquility of rural living with close proximity to amenities and outdoor attractions. In addition, the beautiful Lake Rathbun—one of Iowa’s largest and most renowned recreational lakes known for world-class fishing—is just a short 20-mile drive away. The farm features a stunning future build site tucked into mature timber with gorgeous north-facing views and easy access just off a quiet dead-end road. The landscape is a diverse blend of hard and soft woods, native grasses, miles of edge habitat, and multiple thick draws that provide outstanding bedding cover. This natural composition, combined with exceptional genetics in the area, supports world-class deer hunting as well as thriving populations of turkeys and pheasants. Surrounding farms add even more habitat continuity, making this a premier recreational property that hunts far larger than the 69 acres. Two convenient access points enhance usability.
