Turnkey Trophy Hunting Farm With Cabin Near Cedar Rapids
4260 Indian Boundary Rd Center Point, IA 52213
Description
UPDATED LISTING! Whitetail Properties Real Estate presents a fully turnkey offering along the coveted Cedar River, only 20 minutes from one of the most convenient places in Eastern Iowa. This trophy whitetail property sits in Iowa’s Zone 7, where non-resident landowners can typically draw tags much more frequently than in southern or northeast Iowa.
The current owner has taken bucks in the 160s, 170s, 180s, and, most recently, a 190-class deer. A 200 was killed here within the last decade. Simply put, this property grows impressive whitetails every year. The hunting strategy is dialed, where the stands were set for specific winds, travel routes, and archery shot opportunities so that when the best days arrive, the setups give shot opportunities. It's reassuring to know that the next owner won't have to start from scratch and figure out the movement through trial; they can hit the ground running and have very high odds of encountering the best bucks on the property immediately. 35 sheds were found in one day of shed hunting last week!
The land spans along the Cedar River west of Center Point and features vast river-bottom timber with a significant appraised value, waterfowl wetland sloughs, upland hardwood ridges, and over 40 acres of food plots for archery and gun seasons. 30+ top-of-the-line Millennium ladder stands, four premium Ranch King gun blinds, and three Redneck bow blinds are already set across the property. Doe harvest and supplemental feeding have been used to maintain a healthy and balanced herd.
The cabin provides a clean lodge-style setup with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, an ozone scent room, a hot tub, and a heated garage. The Morton building houses the equipment that is included in the offering– a Kubota tractor, Great Plains drill, John Deere planter, Can-Am UTV, implements, and two Rambo electric bikes.
The asking price should be considered this way: the 523 acres of land is effectively priced around $8,000 per acre, with around $500,000 of additional value in the Morton building, farm equipment, blinds, stands, feeders, and a fully furnished cabin that is included. This is not just bare land at a bare land asking price — it's a fully developed, turnkey hunting operation with building improvements and equipment considered in the price. Two solid comparable properties that sold recently in this region would be a 200-acre property at $9,000/acre and a 322-acre farm at $7,775/acre. The market here is stronger than in southern Iowa.
Recreational land along the Cedar River can rival farms anywhere else in the state, producing mature trophy-class whitetails along with excellent turkey and waterfowl hunting. This offering’s size, quality, and proximity to Cedar Rapids’ many great amenities — with its airport, restaurants, shopping, and healthcare — add a significant layer of long-term value.
Showings are by appointment only for financially prequalified buyers. Contact the Land Specialist and listing broker with Whitetail Properties Real Estate at 319-853-1162 to schedule a showing.
