Secluded Hunting Property On A Dead End Road In Southeast Iowa

Smaller all-timber tracts in southeast Iowa with privacy, good habitat, and room for improvement can be difficult to find. Located at the end of a dead-end road between West Point and Fort Madison, this 80-acre property offers a secluded setting in eastern Lee County that's well-suited for hunting and recreation. Accessed from the northwest corner of Maple Lane, the property lies within the Devil's Creek area and is surrounded by a large block of timber, creating the type of landscape that supports deer and turkey year-round. Rolling hardwood ridges, creek bottoms, and natural travel corridors provide a variety of terrain and hunting opportunities. A trail system leads south from the entrance to a 1.5-acre opening near the creek that's currently established in native grasses and forbs. Continuing east, a second opening of approximately 7 acres offers a good location for a destination food plot or additional habitat improvements. Corn, soybeans, brassicas, or perennial forage could all work well in this secluded part of the farm. These two fields were in CRP until 2025. Future owners will need to own the property for a year and then consult with Lee County USDA to determine future eligibility. Devil's Creek runs through the center of the property, providing a dependable water source while helping shape wildlife movement across the farm. The timber consists primarily of white oak, red oak, walnut, and other mature hardwoods. The southern portion of the property features several elevated ridges with good deer sign and multiple stand locations. A long ridge extending north provides additional bedding cover, travel routes, and abundant acorn-producing oaks. Near the entrance is a potential cabin or homesite, with some site preparation and entrance improvements likely needed. A maintained gas pipeline easement crosses portions of the eastern side of the property. Whether you're looking for a hunting property, recreational getaway, future building site, or long-term land investment, this tract offers a private setting with the opportunity to improve it over time and make it your own.
