About This Lot

Welcome to a one-of-a-kind Southern Iowa retreat — 174+/- acres of rolling hills, income-producing land, and premium wildlife habitat in Union County, just 5.5 miles southeast of Afton. Whether you're seeking a dream hunting property, a multi-family retreat, or a versatile investment opportunity, this turnkey estate offers unmatched flexibility and charm.

At the heart of the property are two fully furnished, beautifully maintained homes—The Barn and The Lodge—plus a massive 90'x65' machine shed. Together, these improvements create a perfect setup for hosting events, entertaining guests, or establishing a premier recreational or hospitality business.

The landscape is just as impressive. With 48+ acres enrolled in CRP, this property delivers guaranteed annual income while also enhancing wildlife habitat. Ridgetops planted in CRP, hardwood timber, cedar thickets, brushy draws, and native grasses provide diverse cover for trophy whitetail deer, turkey, pheasants, and quail. A well-maintained trail system winds through the property, making access easy by ATV or foot. There are multiple established food plots, strategically placed treestands, year-round water sources including ponds and a creek, and access from both east and west, giving hunters full control and flexibility. This area consistently produces Boone & Crockett caliber whitetails.

The Barn (Built in 2009)
Spanning 5,100 sq ft across three levels, The Barn offers rustic luxury with a spacious living area and gas fireplace, a gourmet kitchen, formal dining with a second fireplace, two bathrooms, laundry, and two outdoor decks. The second floor has four bedrooms (each with two twin beds and a private 3/4 bath), sitting areas, and additional decks. The third level features a walkway and open loft space. The walkout basement includes a living area, game room with bar, half bath, and two more bedrooms with private baths.

The Lodge (Built in 2001)
This 3,000 sq ft cedar home offers four main-level bedrooms (each with private 3/4 baths), a vaulted living room with fireplace, expansive north and south decks, and a walkout basement featuring a full kitchen, dining area, second living room with fireplace, and 3/4 bath.

The Machine Shed
With concrete floors, 200-amp service, and 220 outlets, this versatile 90'x65' building is ready for anything—from equipment storage to a hobby shop—or even the ultimate indoor reception venue.

Wedding & Event Potential
This estate also offers incredible potential as a wedding venue. The Lodge is a perfect fit for a bridal party headquarters, while The Barn provides an ideal space for the groomsmen to gather and stay. The expansive lawn, with its sweeping views of grassy hillsides, a picturesque pond, and towering white oaks, sets the stage for breathtaking outdoor ceremonies. The machine shed, with its size and infrastructure, could be easily transformed into a memorable reception space—offering a unique blend of rustic elegance and functionality for large gatherings.

Whether you're dreaming of a private retreat, hunting lodge, income-producing property, or event destination—this rare Southern Iowa gem has it all.
