Clinton County
Mixed-Use Farm Near Maquoketa With Views, Timber, Tillable, And Spring Creek
TBD 290th Avenue Charlotte, IA 52731
Description
I haven’t been on a property with as much raw beauty in quite some time as this long-time family farm that lies in northern Clinton County, east of Maquoketa. It has a 50/50 composition of crop acres and beautiful hardwood timber. This land will speak to you for the discerning buyer who wants to own a high-quality property that can produce income yet offer amazing recreational value, along with a picturesque building site.
A special feature of the farm is Sugar Creek—a spring-fed stream that provides clear water year-round through the middle of the property. A prime building site is in the northeast corner at the highest point on the entire farm. It is not too far off the road and would have privacy and a potential pond site.
There are eight fields comprising 78 acres of grass hay. The open acres would be ideal for row crop production, wildlife habitat, or food plots. The ridge tops of the fields and the internal creek bottom fields have high soil productivity ratings, which gives good opportunities for diversifying the use.
With nearly 160 feet of elevation change, it has great topography and views stretching south and west as far as the eye can see. This terrain has timber draws, ridges, and hillsides, making secluded areas and funnels important for hunting. This area in eastern Iowa can grow mature whitetails, and with the composition of this farm, you should have excellent hunting and the ability to grow big deer.
The location of this land is unbeatable for buyers who need to be one hour from Cedar Rapids, the Quad Cities, or Dubuque. If you want to write the next chapter on this beautiful land, please schedule a showing with the listing agent and Whitetail Properties Land Specialist, Ben Harshyne.
