Description
This 66-acre property offers an outstanding opportunity for someone looking to own a rural landscape in one of Eastern Iowa's most desirable corridors. Properties of this size and nature in this area are becoming increasingly difficult to find. The Wilford Farm is conveniently located between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City, just south of Shueyville in Northern Johnson County. The location of this place gives someone the ability to own a rural lifestyle without needing to drive far away from town.
The land has around 11 acres of open ground with the rest in timber, a diverse landscape that lends itself well to recreation, hobby farming, outdoor enjoyment, and rural living. McAllister Creek winds through the property, providing a beautiful year-round water source that enhances both the character of the land and the wildlife habitat.
Whitetail deer, turkeys, and other wildlife are thriving here, offering recreational enjoyment and hunting opportunities within the applicable regulations. Beyond hunting, this is the type of property that fits a wide variety of activities: hiking trails, camping, gardening, foraging, small-scale farming, or simply enjoying the peace and privacy that comes with owning land.
The location is a major highlight, you get the benefit of a rural setting while remaining conveniently positioned near the amenities, employment, restaurants, shopping and healthcare services of both Cedar Rapids and Iowa City. The property also presents an attractive potential building site. Preliminary discussions with Johnson County indicate the possibility of obtaining approval for a home site, though buyers are encouraged to perform their own due diligence.
It’s hard to explain just how rare and seldom this type of land comes up for sale; in fact, the last time this farm sold was in 1966! Here's your chance to own prime real estate in one of Eastern Iowa's most popular areas. Whether you're looking to build a country home, establish a hobby farm, create a recreational getaway, or secure a long-term land investment in a highly sought-after area, this property offers a unique combination of all.
