Description
This is a great setup for anyone who wants to live on a sizable but manageable acreage in southeast Iowa! Located about five miles north of Burlington lies this 50± acre mixed-use farm offering a great homestead setup with a ranch-style home and barn, high-quality cropland, pasture, and excellent hunting opportunities. Located at 14500 Irish Ridge Road, between Burlington and Mediapolis, the property combines productive land, existing improvements, rural water, and an attractive setting just a short drive from town.
Approximately 10 acres of tillable land carry a 75.9 CSR2 and are currently planted in alfalfa. Three additional open areas are fenced for pasture and have been used for cattle and horses. With a good mix of open ground and timber, there is plenty of room for livestock, crop production, food plots, or other uses, depending on your goals for the property.
The existing homestead includes a 44' x 33' single-story home constructed on a concrete slab and served by Rathbun Rural Water. Electrical service is not currently installed. A substantial 40' x 60' metal barn with a poured concrete floor provides excellent space for equipment, machinery, vehicles, storage, or a workshop. Several movable storage buildings are also located on the property, but will not convey with the sale.
Beyond the agricultural land and homestead, this farm also offers excellent hunting opportunities. The balance of the property includes timber and a creek corridor along the east side, creating quality habitat and natural travel routes for whitetail deer and wild turkeys. The combination of agricultural ground, timber, water, and edge habitat gives this smaller acreage a lot of recreational potential.
Additional access from the south via Dry Branch Trail is another notable feature. This former railroad bed follows the creek and provides an alternative access point to the eastern portion of the timber. From a hunting and property management standpoint, having the ability to access the farm from multiple directions is a definite advantage.
If you're looking for productive land, a rural homestead close to Burlington, and the added benefit of excellent hunting, this 50± acre farm brings all three together in a very manageable package.
