Buena Vista County - 6550 200th Avenue, Newell, IA
Just 2 miles south of Newell, Iowa, this extraordinary 87.29 +/- deeded acre recreational property offers a rare opportunity to own a private escape where world-class outdoor recreation, income-producing land, and peaceful country living come together in one exceptional setting.
Positioned in the heart of Buena Vista County and surrounded by productive agricultural ground and conservation habitat, this property delivers outstanding year-round enjoyment. Conveniently located just 15 miles from Storm Lake, approximately 65 miles south of Okoboji, 2 hours from Des Moines, and 2.5 hours from Omaha, this retreat feels secluded while remaining easily accessible.
One of the defining features is the property's approximately 20 +/- acre private prairie lake tucked quietly into the countryside. Enhanced in 2025 through partial dredging and stocking, the lake now supports walleye, bluegill, yellow perch, and fathead minnows, creating outstanding fishing opportunities. Surrounded by fertile dark soils, the lake receives abundant natural nutrients that support healthy aquatic vegetation, insects, and baitfish--building an incredibly productive ecosystem that benefits both anglers and wildlife alike.
For the avid outdoorsman, this property is truly special. The lake serves as a regional destination for migrating waterfowl, creating exceptional duck and goose hunting opportunities. The surrounding habitat consistently produces excellent pheasant hunting, with current ownership regularly reporting successful mornings in the field. Located just one mile east of the Raccoon River Heritage Wildlife Corridor, the property also benefits from strong deer movement, particularly during the rut when hunting pressure pushes mature bucks into nearby sanctuary areas. Predator hunting opportunities add yet another recreational element.
Beyond hunting and fishing, the property invites endless outdoor enjoyment--kayaking, canoeing, swimming, ATV riding, wildlife watching, and simply enjoying the peaceful setting. Imagine starting your mornings with coffee overlooking the water and ending each day watching unforgettable Iowa sunsets from your back deck.
The residence offers comfortable living with room to host family and guests:
Single-story frame home with walkout basement
2 bedrooms
1 full bathroom on the main level
Approximately 650 +/- finished square feet in the lower level
Additional lower-level living space, bedroom area, and full bathroom
Breezeway connection to a 36'x70' steel utility building
Utility building features spray foam insulation, offering exceptional storage, workspace, or recreational flexibility
Adding to the appeal, 38.44 acres are enrolled in CRP, generating $9,971 annually in income while enhancing wildlife habitat and long-term conservation value.
Properties that combine private water, hunting, fishing, income, recreation, and country living are increasingly difficult to find--especially in a setting this unique.
This is more than a property--it's a place to gather, explore, and create memories for generations while enjoying everything Iowa's outdoors has to offer.
