Description
I get the chance to tour farms all over Central and Western Iowa. It's safe to say that farms in Boone County, especially those along the Des Moines River, are as beautiful and scenic as they come.
This particular property is perfectly suited for the year-round recreation-focused owner. It offers incredible deer and turkey hunting, shed, and morel hunting in the timber and waterfowl hunting and fishing in the Des Moines River.
The hardwood timber was filled with black walnut trees along the creek bottom and majestic old red and white oaks on the hillsides and flat ridge tops. The ridges lead down to the rock-bottom creek, which weaves through the timber and directly drains into the Des Moines River at the south end of the property. This live-water creek and its spring-fed tributaries provide the necessary year-round water source for the plentiful wildlife on the property.
The property is loaded with whitetail deer and wild turkey sign. Although there are just less than 70 acres of timber, this property connects to 100’s acres of timber, some of which is lightly or not even hunted at all. Even though there isn’t a history of the bucks on this particular property, the farm is in an area that traditionally produces record book bucks on an annual basis.
There is a small one-bedroom, one-bathroom home on the property that could easily be updated and converted into a great weekend getaway, rental, small Airbnb, or an amazing hunting camp.
If you've been looking for a diverse recreational property north of Des Moines, you know these properties don't come on the market very often. Act fast and call the Listing Agent and Land Specialist to schedule a private showing of this amazing property.
