Whitetail Properties presents a 13.72-acre tract of recreational land located near Kendalville and Bluffton, between Decorah and Cresco. This parcel is directly adjacent to the Upper Iowa River, providing waterfrontage and private riverbank access ideal for kayaking, fishing, or riverside relaxation. Access is from County Road W14 and Coldwater Creek Road. A maintained access lane on the eastern boundary facilitates entry to the riverfront and supports placement of camping setups or RVs. The property contains a network of established UTV or even truck-size trails, perfect for walking and leading to the river’s edge. Remnant native prairie grasses and a stand of young walnut trees, along with other bottomland species, dominate the vegetation here. Wildlife is abundant, with habitat features such as water holes drawing deer, turkey, pheasant, and waterfowl, maximizing both seasonal hunting opportunities and wildlife observation. The layout and natural buffering contribute to a sense of seclusion despite the land’s modest size. Here are three active Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) contracts associated with the property, generating approximately $2,761 annually, which can help offset ownership costs, and the walnut timber should offer substantial future value. The property lies within the Driftless Region, known for its rugged beauty, steep limestone bluffs, and highly regarded Upper Iowa River recreational opportunities. Decorah provides cultural amenities, trail systems, and services, while the Upper Iowa River is recognized by National Geographic Adventure among the top U.S. river adventures. Don't miss this opportunity in a wonderful location.
