Recreational Land with Home for Sale in Russell, Iowa

What an opportunity to own a truly versatile Southern Iowa property in Lucas County, Iowa. This is the kind of property that rarely comes available; offering exceptional recreation, income potential, and a peaceful place to call home, all set within one of the most picturesque landscapes the region has to offer.

Rolling ridge tops transition into mature hardwood timber, creating the ideal balance of open ground and cover. The layout naturally supports established travel corridors, with multiple prime locations for food plots, stand sites, and habitat improvements. This is the kind of setting serious outdoorsmen look for, strong populations of white-tailed deer and turkey, minimal road traffic, and the seclusion needed to consistently hold wildlife. Surrounded by hundreds of additional acres of timber, the neighborhood further enhances the property's ability to produce and protect game year after year.

Beyond recreation, the farm offers real-world functionality. Productive alfalfa fields and pasture ground provide opportunities for hay production or livestock grazing. The 45' x 60' shop features concrete floors, overhead doors, and ample workspace, ideal for equipment storage, projects, or operations. A 30' x 60' livestock building adds valuable winter protection and flexibility for your herd.

The ranch-style home, built in 1976, offers 1,296 square feet of living space with a walkout basement and an updated steel roof. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a hunting headquarters, or a weekend retreat, the home provides a solid foundation to make your own. Properties with this combination of seclusion, diversity, and usability are hard to come by. Whether you're searching for a legacy farm, an income-producing investment, or a private escape, this one delivers.
