Peoples Company is pleased to present a truly unique recreational and investment opportunity on 12.45 acres m/l in Lee County, Iowa. Offered by Ten Acre Hunting Club, LLC, this property proves that exceptional hunting and income-producing potential do not require hundreds of acres. These diverse acres have consistently produced memorable hunts and attract mature whitetail deer year after year. Trail camera photos tell the story: this overlooked pocket of habitat serves as a natural funnel during the rut, creating frequent deer movement and outstanding opportunities in a highly manageable setting.

At the heart of the property sits a well-maintained cabin that serves as the perfect hunting basecamp or weekend retreat. Whether you're planning your next hunt, escaping a passing rain shower, or positioning yourself for a pre-dawn walk to the stand, the cabin offers comfort and convenience in a peaceful setting. The 240-square-foot cabin features a private bedroom, three-quarter bathroom, kitchen and living area, heating and cooling, internet service, television, refrigerator, stove, and all the essentials needed for an enjoyable stay. Outside, enjoy a spacious deck and firepit area, ideal for relaxing after a day outdoors.

Beyond recreation, the property presents several compelling investment opportunities. Located directly on the southern edge of Fort Madison and adjacent to the Fort Madison Industrial Park, the property benefits from excellent access and strategic positioning. The tract borders U.S. Highway 61 and the BNSF Railway, providing outstanding visibility and accessibility for potential future commercial or development uses. With relatively level topography and a scenic setting, the property could also lend itself to campground development or other entrepreneurial ventures.

Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the property's remarkable abundance of morel mushrooms. Each spring, the owners have harvested hundreds of morels throughout the timbered areas, creating an additional seasonal attraction that local mushroom hunters dream about.

The cabin has also generated consistent rental income, producing approximately $850 to $1,000 per month through short-term rentals and word-of-mouth referrals. Demand has remained strong, particularly among traveling professionals working in nearby healthcare facilities, railroad operations, and other local industries. Occupancy has only been limited when the owners chose to reserve the cabin for personal use, demonstrating the area's continued demand for furnished lodging.

The location further enhances the property's appeal. Situated just minutes from Fort Madison's shopping, dining, and employment opportunities, the property also offers convenient access to the Mississippi River, with boat access located less than one-eighth mile away. Nearby attractions include Montrose, historic Nauvoo, Illinois, and some of Southeast Iowa's premier outdoor destinations, including North Heron Bend, Sugar Creek Bottoms, and Shimek State Forest, encompassing over 7,000 acres of public recreation.

Whether you're searching for a productive hunting property, a weekend getaway, a short-term rental investment, or a tract with future development potential, this versatile Lee County property offers a rare combination of recreation, income, and location that is difficult to replicate.
