This land and farmstead in Louisa County is ideal for quiet country living, a hobby farm, and a great hunting property. It's located north of Columbus Junction, south of Conesville, and a few miles west of paved Highway 70. Only 30 miles from downtown Iowa City, it's a convenient drive for anyone looking for recreational land and an easy drive away.
From a wildlife perspective, its habitat is phenomenal, with heavy timber, a secluded field and a live water source running through it. Honey Creek, a sandy creek valley, flows through the heart of the property, offering an excellent water source—a critical feature for great hunting. Winding from northeast to southwest, the creek valley meets the Iowa River, one of eastern Iowa's major rivers, creating a whitetail travel corridor. Turkey are prevalent here, and the position between the Iowa and Cedar River--which is only a mile to the east--puts it in the direct flyway of migrating birds. In the southeast corner, there's a small pond with a secluded food plot tucked behind it—a perfect spot to leave standing grain for cold-weather deer hunting. The subtle but evident terrain change and winding creek bottom create natural pinch points that are ideal for archery hunting. An additional highlight is the topography on the west side, which features a mix of tree species, including several growing oaks across the landscape.
The property includes a variety of buildings, such as two barns (one a large metal building), three sheds, a couple of grain bins, and a silo. There's also a 1940s two-story home with 1,352 square feet combined on the first and second level, included as-is. With some updates, this could make a wonderful weekend getaway or country home, featuring four bedrooms and one bathroom.
Family-owned farms like this rarely are offered for public sale. With close proximity to Iowa City, great timber, a flowing creek, and useful buildings, this property offers a lot of value.
