Description
We are pleased to present this exceptional 70-acre multi-purpose property in Jackson County. This diverse parcel offers a harmonious blend of mature hardwoods, successional fields, wetlands, and ponds, creating an ideal habitat for a variety of wildlife, including whitetail deer, wild turkey, rabbits, squirrels, and waterfowl such as wood ducks and mallards. The property's natural features are complemented by scattered evergreen trees and fruit-bearing apple and crabapple trees, enhancing its appeal to game and nature enthusiasts. The land boasts extensive frontage on two roads, providing multiple access points and flexibility for potential building or recreational use. Many opportunities for hunting stands exist to take advantage of the area's prevailing winds, offering optimal conditions for hunters. The successional fields, primarily composed of Teasdale fine sandy loam with gentle 0–3% slopes, have remained unplanted for over a decade, resulting in dense cover that supports robust deer populations. Depending on your vision, these fields present opportunities for revitalization into productive food plots or larger-scale agricultural endeavors. Situated in a location that balances rural tranquility with convenient access to amenities, the property is near the expansive Waterloo State Recreation Area, which offers camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, and boating opportunities.
Additionally, Pleasant Lake and its campground are nearby, providing further recreational options. In addition to its natural beauty and recreational offerings, this property boasts a uniquely advantageous location for those connected to academia or seeking proximity to educational institutions.
