Recreational Property With Home That Borders Backbone State Park
1307 120th St, Lot#WP003 Strawberry Point, IA 52076
Description
PRICE REDUCED! This tract is part of the more massive 140-acre farm that is listed. Any farm, in this part of Iowa, is so very unique for anyone who likes the outdoors. An opportunity to buy this size of a property that borders Backbone State Park is rare. It is even rarer that a property border it on two sides, ever comes for sale. This stunning property is ready for you to slide into a stand or a blind and hunt. The sellers are leaving every stand and box blind (but 1). You can’t help but notice that the property is essentially one massive funnel for the deer coming out of the park to feed at night. The deer and turkey population in this area is fantastic. Setting in the back sunroom, it will be almost a nightly occurrence to watch the deer, turkey, and pheasants. There are several food plots on the property that the seller has taken great care to grow. Alfalfa and brassicas fill the destination plots, and clover planted in the smaller plots. Numerous stand locations allow you to settle in and see what comes by! The internal trail system on the property is easy to navigate by tractor, ATV, horseback, and possibly truck. The property feels so secluded, even with hard surface road frontage. The timber on the property has a wonderful diversity of hardwoods. Walnut of varying sizes dominates most of the low ground, with mixed hardwoods on the rest. Backbone State Park has so much to offer to any outdoor enthusiast! Check out their website on the right-hand side of this page. Aside from the wonderful trail system, they offer trout fishing, rock climbing and repelling, cabin rentals, and picnic areas, to name a few activities. This whole area is so unique that it will take you years to participate in all the area has to offer. The house is well kept, with a concrete driveway running between the two-car garage and the home. On the back end of the garage, a “man cave” has been built. It is heated TV, power, and a fold-up exterior door to turn the space into a processing station. The floor drain allows for easy cleanup and transformation back to a relaxing space after your day is over! Of interest, there is a propane-powered generator to the East of the garage should the power go out. This generator will ensure that you can be self-sufficient until power is restored! The house is very pleasing. If you walk into the back door, you step straight into the sunroom. From there, you have a fantastic view of the North. This space has a lot of potential uses. The sellers use it as a place to relax and watch the wildlife during all seasons while catching the evening news. From the sunroom, you walk into the spacious kitchen.
