Fantastic 4+ acre building site located just minutes from town in the desirable Ottumwa School District. This rare opportunity at 16767 Whiskey Ridge offers an ideal setting for your future home, with all buildings removed, leaving an open, ready-to-build site. Located high on a hill, the property provides beautiful, expansive views of the surrounding countryside. Please note there are no county road signs at the property; for easiest access, refer to the Wapello County Assessor’s GIS aerial map, where you will find this site directly across from 16778 Whiskey Ridge. A hard-to-find combination of location, acreage, and views—don’t miss this exceptional building opportunity.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
