Description
Located approximately 20 minutes from Cedar Rapids and Iowa City, this gorgeous farm has been in the same family for 52 years. If you’ve waited to own a property with big hardwood timber and farmland, one with secluded building sites, recreation, and income—yet is a convenient drive to town—the opportunity is here.
This farm has two different areas to build, and a farmstead split comes with the offering. The north property line is Knapp Creek Way NW, a gravel road that spans the entire northern boundary. There is an as-is farmhouse and two machine sheds, which are still in excellent condition for storing equipment. This entire north end of the property offers multiple options for building a home.
The southwest road frontage is off Baxter Avenue NW. This area presents a second option for a building site in the private field and allows for excellent southern access to the property.
Roughly 28 acres of farmland are currently in row crop and could continue to be farmed or seeded into alfalfa hay. These open acres will offer an income stream or blank canvas for converting into wildlife habitats for the next owner. The forest resource is impressive, featuring hardwood ridges including red oak, white oak, cedars, and more. Many thick south-facing slopes across these ridges make natural deer bedding areas, and several deep ravines allow for excellent archery hunting opportunities in the fall.
The hunting layout on this farm is top-shelf, with rolling hardwood ridges, a secluded center field that would be a premiere food plot area, multiple funnels and pinch points for intercepting deer in the fall, and thick bedding areas ensuring they will be staying on the farm year-round. Turkeys are plentiful here, and the farm is home to many animals, including owls, songbirds, predators, and possibly some upland game birds.
Land among the hills of the Iowa River valley very rarely comes up for sale in this part of Johnson county. If you’re interested in starting the next chapter on this beautiful farm, please call Whitetail Properties Land Specialist Ben Harshyne to schedule a private showing.
