Recreational Property With Building Potential Near The Mississippi River

Located in southeastern Lee County just five miles north of Keokuk, this 18.84-acre property offers a great combination of recreational land, hunting potential, and a potential building site less than a mile from the Mississippi River. Situated just east of the private airport, the property is only one-eighth of a mile off a paved road, providing convenient access with very little gravel road travel. The entrance is equipped with fiber internet, rural water, and electricity, making it easy for the next owner to build a home, cabin, or weekend getaway. A 30'x40' metal-sided pole building, constructed in 2021, provides excellent storage for equipment, ATVs, and hunting gear, while also offering the potential to be finished into a comfortable cabin. The property is primarily wooded with a mix of mature hardwoods, cedars, and thick brush, creating excellent wildlife cover. A drainage winds through the property and is crossed by a wooden bridge for UTV access, while a nearby low-water crossing accommodates larger equipment. An established trail system provides easy access throughout the property. Near the center of the property are two existing openings that are well-suited for food plots. One of these areas also includes a small patch of grapevines planted years ago by a previous owner. An insulated tower blind overlooking the eastern opening is included with the sale. For hunters, the property offers a solid foundation with room to improve. Thick bedding cover, established access, existing food plot locations, and the included tower blind provide a strong starting point. With additional habitat improvements, the property has the potential to become an even more productive hunting tract. A former pond site located in one of the ravines also presents an opportunity for future restoration. Whether you're looking for a manageable hunting property, a weekend retreat, or a future homesite close to Keokuk and the Mississippi River, this property offers the infrastructure and potential to make it your own.
