Description
Here is a rare opportunity to own a property of this size in one of the most ideal locations, with so much to offer! Building opportunities, paved road access, privacy and seclusion, tillable income, and an impressive hunting history—this property has it all. Ideally located between Glenwood, Iowa, and the Council Bluffs/Omaha metro, it sits in a highly desirable area with convenient access to amenities while still providing the space and privacy of country living.
This 113.61± acre property appeals to a variety of buyers, but if you have been searching for the ideal place to build your dream home, the setting of this Loess Hills gem is hard to beat. Interior open fields provide a natural landscape with multiple potential building locations overlooking the beautiful valley. Timbered hillsides and rolling Loess Hills topography create exceptional privacy and seclusion from neighboring properties. An established driveway curves back into the interior of the property from paved 195th Street, providing convenient paved road access all the way to I-29. Electricity and fiber are located on the road, adding even more appeal for a future home build. With over 113 acres to call your own, there is plenty of room to create your dream acreage while maintaining the privacy that can be difficult to find closer to the metro.
The current open acres are predominantly in tillable production under a corn and soybean rotation and boast a solid average CSR2 of 79.1, providing an additional source of income for the new owner. Farm tenancy is open for the 2027 crop year, offering flexibility to continue farming the ground or utilize portions of the property differently. The current owner has also left approximately 1–2 acres of standing grain each year to provide an additional food source for deer and other local wildlife. The majority of the timber acres are currently enrolled in the Forest Reserve Program, providing some impressive tax benefits for the new owner.
The deer hunting and recreational opportunities on this farm should not be overlooked. Thick timbered valleys and timbered ridge tops have proven year after year to grow and hold mature whitetails. The farm has been heavily managed under a strict management plan for the past 13 seasons, with only bucks at least 5½ years old being harvested. This commitment to management has produced some impressive deer, with a consistent history of mature bucks in this age class year after year. There are currently numerous solid bucks using the property. The hunting setup is in a turn-key state, including two blinds, two water tank locations, and two food plot locations. These areas have been consistently maintained over the years, providing dependable food and water for the local wildlife. Turkey numbers throughout the area are also abundant, providing excellent spring hunting opportunities. The rolling terrain would also provide many other recreational activities, such as ATV riding, horseback riding, hiking, etc.
The sunset views across the valley, majestic mature timber stands, rolling Loess Hills landscape, and convenient proximity to the metro will continue to make this a highly desirable area. The location is prime, and the opportunities are numerous. If you are looking for more than just a few acres to build your dream home on, value privacy and seclusion, want quality recreational opportunities, or are simply looking to add land to your investment portfolio, this property is certainly worth a look!
