It’s not every day you find 77 acres of timber inside the Ottumwa city limits, but this one checks a lot of boxes. With a spot up front to build a home and the rest set up as your own outdoor playground, this property gives you space to spread out while still being close to everything.   Land & Wildlife This place is almost all timber, with a mix of mature white and black oaks, hickory, and deep valleys with creeks running through them. The ridgetops are covered in deer sign, and with city limits restrictions, this is a bowhunting-only property—a perfect setup for someone looking for a private hunting spot close to home.   Hunting & Recreation The owner has already cleared a 1.5-acre food plot, ready to be planted this spring, so the groundwork is in place to hold more deer on the farm. There are also trails at the back of the property, and with a little work to connect them, you could have a solid trail system for easy access, riding, or hiking.   Building Potential If you’re looking for a place to build, utilities are already at the road, and there’s a great spot up front that would make for an ideal home site. Whether you want a house, cabin, or weekend getaway, this property gives you options while still keeping plenty of timber and space to enjoy.   Why This One Stands Out It’s hard to find a property like this inside city limits—big timber, hunting, a build site, and privacy, all within minutes of town. Whether you’re after a hunting property, a recreational escape, or a place to build with land to roam, this one’s worth checking out.
