Land for Sale in Moravia, Iowa

This 21± acre Southern Iowa property offers a true recreational setup in a manageable size, centered around a 2.5± acre pond with timber, brush, and strong wildlife habitat. Located just north of Iconium in Monroe County—near the Appanoose County line and a short drive to Moravia and Melrose—this tract sits in the heart of some of Iowa’s most well-known hunting and recreational areas, just 3± miles from Rathbun Lake.

Whether you're looking for a weekend basecamp or a place to enjoy year-round, this property offers the ability to step away from lake traffic while staying just minutes from boating, dining, and recreation at Rathbun.

The farm is small in size but offers solid hunting potential. A timbered draw wraps the pond and is loaded with thick brush, creating ideal bedding cover and natural travel corridors that consistently funnel wildlife through the property. The area is known for quality whitetail genetics, and this tract offers a realistic opportunity to hunt mature deer in a controlled, low-pressure setting.

The 2.5± acre pond is a standout feature—set up with natural structure and loaded with fish, offering excellent fishing right out your back door. The surrounding layout also supports additional recreational use including camping, trail riding, and general outdoor enjoyment.

The property offers 9.36 acres of CRP with annual payments of $995.31 from two contracts expiring in 2030 & 2040. With some light improvement, the south end of the property offers attractive potential building sites for a cabin or home subject to buy-out of CRP acres. There is also room to establish multiple camping locations, making it a great setup for group gatherings.

This is a well-rounded Southern Iowa “play place” combining hunting, fishing, and recreational use in one property, with immediate access to Rathbun

Lake and everything the area has to offer.
