Timber And Tillable Property With Two Cabins Near LaPorte City
50th Street Drive, Lot#WP001 Mount Auburn, IA 52313
Description
Simply put, this is one of, if not the best, property we have ever had the privilege of bringing to the market. This property has been in the family for over 100 years, and now you can own it! One of the sellers can recall childhood memories of raising livestock and orphaned animals! The affinity for the land directly relates to how beautiful the property is! The uniqueness of the property is around every corner. Many years ago, there were cabins along the bluff for get-a-ways for the owners. An excellent internal trail system over 5 miles long is in place to get you around the property easily. This links the old cabins/cabin sites to each other! The owners still use one of the rustic cabins for a hunting shack in the fall. It is amazing how well you can “get away” on this property, especially since there is almost 1 mile of river frontage to the Cedar River! Even more beautiful, most of the river frontage is out of the flood zone! Lastly, there is the power to the river bluff, which is a very long way from the entrance!
If the property could not offer more, the wildlife on the property is everything you expect in Iowa! The last time Brent and I were on the property, we observed Deer, turkey, and pheasants! Additionally, we saw both turkey and pheasant polt! I was first on the property in November of 2020. During that visit, I was blown away by the quality of bucks I observed out of the truck window! Keep in mind that the property is this good with minimal food plotting and habitat management! There are so many opportunities to improve the property I really cannot find a place to start describing it!
The entire property is in CRP, with the contract expiring this September. You will have an excellent opportunity to turn that ground into production. Presently, two wetlands are on the property, along with the river access to the Cedar.
Simply put, you have to see this property; it is amazing and can only get better!
