Lucas County, IA

Property Description

This scenic 35± acre tract in Lucas County offers the ideal mix of location, build potential, recreational opportunity, and rural lifestyle—all just five minutes from Chariton. With paved highway frontage along 500th Street, access is easy year-round, and opportunities like this don’t come along often.
Approximately half the property is tillable ground, giving you multiple options to choose the perfect homesite. The land features a beautiful south-facing slope, ideal for watching both sunrises and sunsets, and provides natural drainage and incredible views. With utilities located right at the road, your dream home or weekend getaway could be closer than you think—without HOA dues or restrictive covenants.
The remaining acreage is a versatile mix of open pasture and scattered timber, featuring cedar trees, hedge trees, and a few mature hardwoods. Whether you're looking to raise livestock, ride ATVs, or enjoy the peace of rural living, this property offers room to do it all. For hunters, the area is well-known for producing big bucks, and this farm has been lightly hunted in recent years and not at all last fall, giving wildlife a chance to thrive undisturbed.
There’s great potential to enhance the habitat further with native grass plantings, food plots, and water sources. The topography and layout offer excellent pond-building locations, and with a little elbow grease, this farm could become an incredible whitetail and turkey hunting destination.
Whether you're starting a hobby farm, building your forever home, or investing in a piece of Iowa land with long-term potential, this property is a rare find—paved road, great location, and endless opportunity, all rolled into one.
