Whitaker Marketing Group is honored to present this exceptional land offering in Louisa County, Iowa, combining strong recreational appeal, immediate income, and functional improvements in a highly desirable rural setting. Known locally as the Deloyd Swarts farm, it is located just 5 minutes from Columbus Junction and accessed by only 1/2 mile of gravel on a dead-end road, this property offers the rare combination of seclusion and convenience.
This tract features a diverse layout of mature timber, established CRP fields, live water, and well-positioned improvements. A stocked pond and live creek frontage provide year-round water sources and enhance both wildlife habitat and recreational enjoyment. The farm is well-known for its strong hunting opportunities, bedding areas, heavy timbered draws, and an existing food plot already in place. The property supports healthy populations of whitetail deer, pheasants, turkeys, and bobcats, with neighboring landowners actively managing for wildlife.
In addition to its recreational strengths, this property offers immediate income potential through CRP payments, with the buyer receiving 100% of the 2026 payments. The improvements add both function and flexibility, including an older livable home ideally positioned on the farm, three grain bins with dryer and fans for future row crop use or rental income, an open-front machine shed with power, and an older barn suitable for 4H projects or other agricultural uses. The property also offers pasture and livestock potential, adding even more versatility for future ownership.
