Located just outside of the Quad Cities, a rare opportunity to own approximately 80 acres of land, offering a unique combination of an income-producing residence, existing improvements, restored wildlife habitat, and exceptional recreational opportunities. Steeped in local history, this property was once farmed and later became part of the familiar 9-hole Red Dog Run golf course. Today, the former golf course has been transformed through a Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) easement administered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) within the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), creating a diverse and thriving natural environment. Tucked off the road, the existing 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home with basement offers approximately 884 square feet of living space and enjoys a private setting surrounded by a large lawn and mature vegetation. The home is currently rented for $900 per month, providing immediate rental income. Additional improvements include an older detached garage, machine shed with lean-to, and a clubhouse that was formerly utilized during the property's days as a golf course. The WRP enrolled acreage has been thoughtfully restored with a variety of habitat features, including lowland marsh, 2 small streams, shallow-water scrapes, native prairie grasses, young tree plantings and beautiful flowering plants. These native and naturalized plantings provide seasonal color while offering an important food source and habitat for songbirds, waterfowl, butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. The result is a remarkably diverse landscape designed to restore native vegetation, improve wildlife habitat, and provide opportunities for hunting, wildlife observation, and other outdoor recreation. The combination of natural water sources, thick cover, and surrounding agricultural fields creates an ideal environment for wildlife. Whitetail deer are abundant throughout the area, and has a well-established reputation for producing mature bucks. The diverse habitat provides excellent bedding and security cover, while the surrounding agricultural ground offers abundant food sources. Whether you're looking for a recreational property, hunting ground, wildlife sanctuary, or simply a private retreat close to the amenities of the Quad Cities, this acreage offers an uncommon combination of convenience and natural resources. A pond located not far from the road adds another attractive recreational component to the property. A mowed path around the perimeter provides convenient access around the acreage, making hiking, wildlife observation, game retrieval, and ATV/UTV travel easy and enjoyable. Properties offering this much acreage, history, habitat, improvements, home or home rental income, and recreational potential in such close proximity to the Quad Cities are increasingly difficult to find. Whether your goal is to hunt mature whitetails, observe and enjoy wildlife, explore the restored wetlands and prairie, generate rental income, or simply own a private piece of land with a story to tell, this property deserves a closer look.
