LandProz is pleased to present this 68 +/- Acre Van Buren County, Iowa property located in Lick Creek Township near Douds and just off the Des Moines River corridor. This property sits in one of southern Iowas most respected recreational regions, with Van Buren County known for its excellent whitetail deer hunting and the Des Moines River corridor notorious for producing giant bucks.
The farm features a highly desirable mix of open ground, rolling topography, mature timber, edge cover, and recreational habitat. Surrounded by a strong mix of timber, ag fields, and natural travel corridors. This type of layout is ideal for deer movement, food plot development, stand placement, and year-round recreational enjoyment.
One of the standout features of this property is the excellent potential building site overlooking the Des Moines River valley. This setting provides the kind of view and location buyers look for when searching for a southern Iowa recreational retreat, hunting cabin, or future home site. With mature timber, open acres, income potential, and a scenic overlook-style setting, this farm offers far more than just acreage.
The property has 45 acres currently enrolled in CRP set to expire September 30th 2026, giving the next owner flexibility moving forward. The buyer may have the option to pursue CRP re-enrollment, convert portions back to tillable production, rent the open acres to a local operator, or use the layout for food plots and habitat improvements. Small, manageable tracts like this are in high demand in Van Buren County, especially when they combine river-valley location, mature timber, hunting upside, CRP flexibility, and build-site potential.
