Bryan Rd, Ottumwa, IA 52501

It’s not every day you find 77 acres of timber inside the Ottumwa city limits. With a build site up front and the rest set up as your own outdoor playground, this property gives you space to spread out while staying close to town. This farm is mostly timber, featuring mature white and black oaks, hickory, and valleys with creeks. The ridgetops are loaded with deer sign, and since it’s in city limits, bowhunting is your only option—a great setup for someone wanting a private spot close to home. The owner has cleared a 1.5-acre food plot, ready to be planted this spring, making it even better for holding deer. Trails at the back could be connected into a solid trail system for easy access, riding, or hiking. If you want to build, utilities are at the road, and there’s a great spot up front for a home, cabin, or weekend getaway. This property gives you options while keeping plenty of timber and space to enjoy. It’s hard to find a place like this—big timber, hunting, privacy, and a build site, all minutes from town. Whether you’re after a hunting property, a recreational escape, or land to build on, this one’s worth checking out.
