Property Description
40± Acres with Build Site, Mature Timber, and Hunting | Lee County, Iowa
Opportunities like this don't come along often! This 40± acres on the outskirts of Fort Madison, Iowa offers the rare combination of seclusion, incredible building potential, mature hardwood timber, and recreational opportunities, all while being just minutes from town.
A long, private driveway leads you back into the property, creating a secluded setting that feels a world away from the surrounding area. The property already features a 2-acre cleared build site, providing an ideal location for a new home or cabin. With public water and electricity available, this is a unique opportunity to build your dream home without giving up the convenience of being close to town.
A majority of the parcel is made up of mature hardwood timber, offering both tremendous wildlife habitat and potential for immediate value for the next owner. A professional timber harvest or select cut could provide a substantial return while still maintaining the property's wooded character and recreational appeal. For the buyer looking at this property as both an investment and a place to call home, the timber component adds another layer of opportunity.
The recreational possibilities are equally impressive. Mature whitetails are known to occupy the property, and the combination of hardwood ridges, deep ravines, thick cover, and secluded terrain creates outstanding natural deer habitat. The rolling hills and ravines also make this 40-acre tract feel much larger, providing plenty of room to explore, hunt, and enjoy the outdoors.
Located just outside the Fort Madison city limits, this property offers the best of both worlds a rural, private setting with convenient access to town. The Fort Madison School District, Mississippi River, area amenities, and everyday conveniences are all within easy reach.
