United Country Land Pros is excited to bring this scenic thirteen-acre parcel to the market. Located in rural Van Buren County directly between Mt. Sterling and Cantril, just south of HWY 2. This small tract of land offers abundant opportunities for potential landowners, making it a desirable investment. Farm Owner has meticulously prepared the landscape to present multiple building sites, each promising fantastic views and utilities are conveniently located at the road frontage for easy access. Adding to the property’s appeal, is a well-manicured, centrally located stocked pond. Over the years the owner has maintained multiple food plot locations and built a proven track record of harvesting mature deer that southern Iowa is known for. Deer numbers in the surrounding area are abundant, and the owner has taken excess measures of installing electric fences around each food plot to detour deer until plots have reached maturity. Property will include an elevated Banks hunting blind, currently situated in the center of the farm. Do not hesitate to contact me for a private showing of this rare opportunity acreage.
