Description
I have the opportunity to tour farms all over Central and Western Iowa, and it's safe to say that farms in Boone County, near or along the Des Moines River, are as beautiful and scenic as they get. And this farm does not disappoint! The entire property is covered in hardwood timber filled with majestic old red and white oaks on the flat ridge tops. The ridges lead down to the rock bottom Mineral Branch Creek that weaves through the timber and eventually drains into the Des Moines River. 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 signs, and it's no wonder there is such a large amount of habitat and cover on this farm and in the immediate area. Over the years, this property has produced multiple record-book bucks, all while being lightly hunted by the owners.
A 2.25-acre flat building site has 625' of frontage along L Rd. This is a great location to build a home, utility building, or even a weekend getaway cabin.
If you've been looking for a large timbered 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.
