Property Description

This exceptional 78.85 +/- acre property in Mystic, Iowa, offers the perfect blend of agricultural income, world-class hunting, and long-term investment potential. With approximately 50 tillable acres currently generating an estimated $7,500 in annual rental income, this farm has reliable income while you enjoy the land.


The Walnut Creek corridor runs through the property, creating a natural wildlife highway that consistently attracts the world-class whitetail deer Iowa is renowned for, along with healthy populations of wild turkey. There were several B&C caliber deer using this property in fall 2025, and multiple gobblers echoing in the creek bottom as we were photographing the farm. The future looks bright! With the south end of the farm being mostly open, there is great topography to stay hidden while maneuvering throughout. A new Bank’s Sequoia blind and three new big-foot ladder stands go with the property!


A healthy stand of walnut timber in the creek bottom adds yet another layer of future income potential as those trees continue to mature — a true long-term asset for the discerning buyer.


For those looking to build, a prime building site sits conveniently along the road with water and electricity already available, making it easy to envision your dream cabin or permanent residence.


To top it all off, this property sits just 3 miles south of Lake Rathbun — one of Iowa’s premier recreational lakes — putting boating, fishing, and additional outdoor recreation right at your doorstep.


Properties like this — income-producing, wildlife-rich, future timber-valuable, and build-ready — don’t last long. Don’t miss your opportunity to own a piece of southern Iowa’s finest recreational ground.
