Skunk River Timber and CRP Close to Des Moines
Farm Street, Lot#WP001 Colfax, IA 50054
Description
PRICE REDUCED!! Situated just across the county line east of Des Moines along the famed Skunk River Valley, lies this 50/50 combination of mature bottomland timber and tall native prairie grass. Approximately 23 acres are enrolled in the income-generating Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). This property is home to a thriving pheasant, deer, and turkey population. The Skunk is one of the most well-known river corridors in Iowa to hunt big whitetails, and this tract lays out great for north and west winds that bring cold-front encounters. Contact Iowa Land Specialist Ben Harshyne at 319-853-1162 to schedule a private showing of this recreational land with income.
