Mount Vernon, IA 52314

Set on 70 acres m/l, this versatile property offers outstanding potential. Previously used as a tree farm, the land features an abundance of mature trees, a creek, and a thriving wildlife population, creating a one-of-a-kind setting. If you’ve been looking for a recreational property only minutes from town, this place is a must-see. Conveniently located just 1 mile from Highway 30 and only 2.5 miles from Mount Vernon, the property combines privacy with accessibility. The property includes a 2,184 SF farmhouse built in 1880 with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, updated with new siding and windows. Also included is a 1,532 SF cottage built in 2004—with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom and set in the middle of the woods for total seclusion. Additionally, numerous outbuildings, including a 40x80 and 60x96 machine shed, provide ample space for equipment storage or potential rental income. Deer, turkeys, and other wildlife call this place home as the timber, surrounding crop fields, and creek provide an ideal habitat. Currently under review with the county, this land presents an opportunity for short or long-term development. Proposed is the addition of 10 buildable lots ranging from 1 to 2 acres each. These lots would enjoy the benefits of natural beauty, established trees, large lot sizes, and a great location.
