Description
PRICE REDUCED! If you’ve been looking for a sprawling property with tons of recreational opportunities, mature hardwood timber, income potential, and a country cottage, then you need to take a look at this unique combination listing! Located on the ridge top, this 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom eco-friendly cottage on 110 +/- acres is perfect for weekend getaways, an outdoor lover’s oasis, or your base camp during hunting season. With some improvements, this would also make a fine primary residence.
This fully-furnished, cob-constructed cabin features central AC and an LP furnace along with a free-standing wood-burning stove to assist in keeping things warm. (9) Solar panels (4kW) help keep the monthly electric bill to a minimum. Although remote, this cabin has high-speed fiber-optic internet opening up options for remote work, incorporating smart devices, and staying connected as much or as little as you choose. Instead of using a traditional well, this cabin uses purified rainwater and multiple 375-gallon cistern tanks as the source for plumbing the house. The water has been tested annually and the State Laboratory of Hygiene has certified its potability. There is a 2,500-gallon holding tank installed to comply with county sanitation requirements. In addition to the main cabin, there is a small 1-room dry cabin, with power, that is perfect for guest quarters.
There is a 24’x48’ pole barn with a concrete floor to house all of the recreational toys you want to bring with you. A 10’ x 48’ south-facing lean-to off the shed provides additional storage space. A loafing shed was built along with a fenced-in corral for horses. Both sheds have power to them.
Aside from the cabin and outbuildings, this property has a lot to offer! There are approximately 16 acres of ridge-top Agricultural ground which is currently being used for hay production along with a small amount of corn and soybeans. The Ag ground is currently being rented out providing for consistent annual income. This could be a fantastic food plot. In addition to this, the property features a surplus of exceptional mature timber which is harvest-ready. A formal timber assessment has been completed by Woodland Forestry and a conservative market value appraisal is available for interested buyers wishing to recoup some of their initial investment on the property.
The 2023 hunting season is currently leased out and provides income. For potential hunting buyers, the lease will be terminated at the time of closing. Aside from the income-producing side of the property, there is outstanding deer, turkey and waterfowl hunting. The populations are very strong and will provide you with multiple opportunities throughout the hunting seasons. On the east side of the property, there is approximately 1/2 mile of riverfrontage on the Kickapoo River. This provides you with access to prime trout fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and swimming. If you are interested in taking a look at this property, give me a call to schedule your private showing!
