Wapello County, Iowa – 47± Acres- Investment | Recreational | Build Site

Located in Pleasant Township, this 47.59± acre farm offers a strong combination of income, usability, and location. Positioned on hard surface Competine Road (V43), this tract sits just minutes from Ottumwa, making it a rare find for a property that can serve as both an investment and a recreational getaway. What stands out immediately is the flexibility. The property is currently enrolled in CRP generating approximately $7,750 annually and has been approved for renewal. That provides immediate income to offset ownership costs. At the same time, with 37 FSA acres and a CSR2 of 61, there is a clear path for a buyer to convert acres back into row crop production if desired. From a recreational standpoint, the farm has the right ingredients. Cedar Creek runs east to west along the north end, creating a natural travel corridor for wildlife. Timber and a defined drainage running north to south through the property add habitat diversity and movement. This area of Wapello County is well known for producing whitetail deer, along with consistent populations of pheasant and bobwhite quail. The combination of CRP cover, water, and surrounding ag ground makes this an efficient and manageable hunting tract. For buyers considering building, there is a strong opportunity on the southeast corner of the property. This area sits outside the floodplain and is positioned right off the road with access to Wapello Rural Water, electricity, and fiber optic internet. A buyer could carve out a small portion for a home or cabin while keeping the remaining acres in CRP for income. It’s not often you find a tract this size, with income, hunting appeal, and build potential, all sitting on a hard surface road within close proximity to Ottumwa.
