Description

The concept of owning your own chunk of land to homestead, hobby farm, build, or do as you please is not a new one. It's a lifestyle that is trending online right now, but it's something that people of every generation have wanted. If that is what you want, it's time to discover the perfect blend of country living, income potential, and exceptional hunting on this highly versatile 16.49 acre m/l farm in sought-after Boone County, Iowa. Whether you’re looking to build your dream home or getaway cabin, invest in land, or enjoy outstanding recreation right out your back door, this property delivers.

The property includes 4.69 acres enrolled in CRP under a CP38E-4D practice, generating $293.81 annually with a contract extending through 2035 and 2037, providing dependable, long-term income. The balance of 11.8 acres m/l consists of mature hardwood timber, offering excellent wildlife habitat, natural beauty, and privacy.

For hunters and outdoor lovers, the location is hard to beat. The close proximity to the expansive Saylorville Wildlife Management Area provides convenient access to over 10,000 acres of public land and the Des Moines River. This greatly expands recreational opportunities, including deer hunting, turkey hunting, fishing, hiking, and more. Enjoy evenings around the campfire as the sun sets over the rolling countryside, with the sounds of gobbling turkeys echoing in the distance and whitetail deer moving quietly through the timber. This property offers a rare blend of relaxation and everyday excitement for outdoor enthusiasts.

Despite its private and peaceful feel, the property is ideally located just 3.5 miles northeast of Woodward, 12 miles south of Boone, 20 miles southwest of Ames, and 20 miles northwest of Grimes/Polk City, offering convenient access to nearby communities.

Properties of this size and quality combining buildable appeal, strong wildlife habitat, recreational access, and reliable income are increasingly rare in southern Boone County. If you’ve been searching for a manageable acreage that truly checks the boxes, this is one you won’t want to miss. Space, freedom, and a place to call your own are never just trends.
