This combination tract offers a mix of hardwood timber and 17.69 FSA cropland acres carrying a CSR2 of 40.9 with the primary soils of Gara loam and Armstrong loam, making it suitable for a range of uses, including a small acreage or recreational tract, investment property, or future building site.
 
Situated in the gently rolling hills of northeast Wayne County, this unique combination tract is minutes from Rathbun Lake and Honey Creek Resort, which provide year-round outdoor recreation such as boating, fishing, hiking, and camping. The area’s scenic views and proximity to one of Iowa’s premier lakes add to the appeal of those seeking a rural escape or long-term land investment. Utilities are readily accessible, with electric service through Chariton Valley REC at the road and a Rathbun Regional Water Association rural water service pit located in the southeast corner of the property, serviced by a 3" rural water line running along the west side of County Highway S56. There are two driveway entrances into the property off the paved county highway, which allows for increased convenience and flexibility in how the property is used.

The tract is leased for the 2025 season, and the current lease expires on March 1st, 2026. A lease termination notice will be given to the tenant, so the farm will be available for the 2026 growing season. The buyer will receive the second half of the 2025 lease payment. Currently, there is no hunting lease on the property, and hunting rights will be immediately available at Closing. Contact Agent for additional lease details.

The property will be offered via an Online Only Auction that will conclude at 3:00 PM on Tuesday, July 1st, 2025, and will be sold on a total price basis. All bidding must be through the Peoples Company BidWrangler platform, and a bid placed within 3 minutes of the scheduled closure of the auction will extend the bidding by an additional 3 minutes until all bidding is completed.
