Description

Peoples Company is proud to represent the Judith R. Romine Estate in the sale of 40.35 acres m/l, offering a rare combination of recreational appeal, income potential, and country living, located just north of Liberty near New Virginia, Iowa. Positioned along US Highway 69 on new asphalt pavement between Osceola and New Virginia in Clarke County, this well-located property provides convenient access to the Des Moines metro while maintaining the privacy and functionality of a true rural escape.

At the heart of the property sits a split foyer farmhouse featuring 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and approximately 1,659 finished square feet. The home includes several key updates such as central air and heat installed around 2017, along with newer appliances including a washing machine, two refrigerators, and a new stove. A large detached two-car garage offers additional storage and functionality for vehicles or equipment. Complementing the home is a substantial steel utility building currently utilized for housing horses and cattle, making this an excellent setup for hobby farming or livestock production.

The land itself is excellent and offers a diverse mix of hardwood timber, creek bottom cover, cedar thickets, and open pasture - providing a blank slate for a diverse Buyer pool. This diversity creates exceptional habitat for whitetail deer and turkey, making it a highly attractive hunting property. The open acres provide flexibility for livestock grazing, hay production, or conversion into strategically placed food plots to further enhance wildlife activity and overall land value. Additionally, the property includes approximately 19.46 FSA cropland acres, offering income potential or the opportunity for row crop production, hay, or wildlife improvements.

Properties that successfully combine quality hunting, agricultural utility, and a comfortable residence, especially on pavement within close proximity to Des Moines, are increasingly difficult to find. This versatile tract presents a unique opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts, hobby farmers, or those looking to build long-term value in a highly desirable Southern Iowa location.
