Description
Whitetail Properties Real Estate is honored to market a special farm that overlooks the famed Skunk River Valley. If you’ve been waiting for a place that offers character, views, recreation, and proximity to Des Moines; one that you could build your dream home on, this may just be The One. This property has been in the same family for generations. Many great memories have been made here in the past, but it's now time for a new owner to make it their own. Magnificent Burr Oaks stand guard among the rolling ridges. Towering pines flank the secluded pond. A trail ascends northeast to the highest point on the farm, along the eastern border, and gives great access to the numerous buck-rubbed ridgetops. There are several stellar building sites to choose from depending on how secluded you want to be, and what view you want to have. Electric is available at the road and rural water is nearby. The thriving deer and turkey population is undeniable from the amount of sign. While photographing, my son and I stumbled across several morel mushrooms without even looking for them. Other wild edibles including blackberries and ginseng can be found in this area as well. Approximately 15 acres are enrolled in the income-generating Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). Contract details are available upon request. A survey will be required for the purchase of this property, and an adjacent 43 acres directly across the road is available as well - call for details. Contact Iowa Land Specialist Ben Harshyne at 319-853-1162 to schedule a private showing of this rare upland farm. Showings by appointment only.
