Listing #19851 - 11.88 Acres In Wapello County, IA

Create your own country retreat on this versatile 11.88-acre property located just off a paved highway and only 10 miles west of Ottumwa, Iowa. With a small pond, mature timber, planted pines, open ground, and utilities already in place, this property offers an excellent combination of a rural building site and affordable recreational land.

A built-in driveway leads into the property, where several potential building areas overlook the open ground and small pond.

The existing trailer is not included and will be removed prior to closing.

The property features a nice mix of mowed open ground, established pines, and mixed timber across gently rolling terrain. The pond provides an attractive focal point for a future homesite, while the timber and pines create privacy and additional opportunities to enjoy wildlife, hunting, and the outdoors right outside your door.
