Recreational Land for Sale in Carlisle, Iowa

Peoples Company is pleased to present this 55.62-acre m/l building site and recreational property located just south of Carlisle in Warren County, Iowa. Offering an impressive combination of buildability, recreation, and value, this property presents a rare opportunity to own over 55 acres in one of central Iowa's most desirable outdoor recreation areas at an affordable price point.

The property adjoins the Summerset Trail and is surrounded by an abundance of state-owned public land, providing exceptional opportunities for biking, hiking, wildlife viewing, and outdoor recreation. Restored wetlands, native grasses, and diverse habitat support strong populations of whitetail deer, turkey, waterfowl, and numerous other wildlife species, creating an outstanding recreational retreat just minutes from the Des Moines Metro.

Enrolled in the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), the property benefits from a well-established habitat landscape that has been further enhanced under a USDA and NRCS-approved Compatible Use Authorization obtained by the current ownership. The authorization has allowed for wildlife food plots, maintained access trails, hunting and observation blinds, prescribed burning, invasive species control, and other approved habitat improvement practices that have significantly enhanced both wildlife habitat and recreational enjoyment of the property.

Prospective buyers should note that Compatible Use Authorizations are granted to the current landowner and do not automatically transfer with ownership. A future owner may apply for a new authorization to continue similar management and enhancement activities, subject to USDA and NRCS review and approval. Contact the listing agent for additional information and copies of the current Compatible Use Authorization documentation.

The north portion of the property offers an attractive setting for a future home, cabin, or weekend getaway, with utilities available at the road and access to the highly regarded Carlisle Community School District. Whether you're looking to build, hunt, enjoy the outdoors, or simply invest in a property that offers far more acreage and recreational opportunity than typically available at this price point, this tract deserves your attention.
