Jackson County
Rolling Hills Property With Cabin Near Maquoketa
4126 288th Street, Lot#WP001 Maquoketa, IA 52060
Description
This is that property you have been waiting on for years! Situated in the rolling hills and bluffs of Jackson County lies one of the best gems you will lay your eyes on. Winding down an eight-tenths of a mile private driveway, you will see this beautiful house/cabin, three outbuildings, and all the amenities you will ever need! While only minutes from town, the privacy and seclusion are stunning! The tillable gently rolls in all directions from your cabin in the hay. The wildlife is everywhere, to the point that as many times as I have visited the property, I have yet not seen deer and turkeys! There is enough pasture that you could rent it out, have your livestock, or enjoy it as it is. The fence is in good repair on the pasture! A trail system on the property can be expanded if you like. My favorite trail takes you to the banks of the Maquoketa River. The property is almost all high ground, so that my estimation is only 1 acre may be flood-prone. We found plenty of morel mushrooms on my last visit, only checking one spot. I am positive there and many more!
If hunting is your interest, you will want to tour this property. A large open area in the pasture could be converted into a substantial food plot. The access to get here with machinery is easy! It is due west of the cabin, and a very short walk could have you in the blind! Additional ambush spots are numerous! The seller has two existing food plots set up; you would have to seed them for your fall plots. Thickets, south-facing bedding, and funnels finish out this gem of a property. All of this right out the door of the cabin!
The cabin is everything that is needed for the sellers. A 1 bedroom, one bath, with a loft! The full kitchen and family room finish out the cabin! Well, septic, internet, power, and “dish TV” are all on-site. If you are interested in both a man cave and she shed, you will have it. The workshop runs on its furnace and has 14-foot and 10-foot doors to get the large campers inside it! It is finished and insulated with a large ceiling fan to circulate the air. The finishing touch is a wonderful seating area on the east side of the building under the roof. The second large outbuilding is finished with metal inside, where your other toys will fit comfortably. The “she shed” is the garden shed currently. There is ample storage space for your tools, and it was built to be as “tight” as possible. All the buildings have metal roofs on them. I noticed that all but the old barn had an updated electrical run. The old barn is functional, complete with a square bale escalator to the haymow. There are individual stalls set up and additional space for your livestock needs.
This is THE place so many people have called about over the years. You need to see it for yourself; it is fantastic! Please call the listing agent for a private showing.
