Old flood channels weave their way through a sea of tall and thick stands of native grasses, weeds, and flowering plants, then terminate into two deep, navigable sloughs connecting to the Missouri River. Since the flood of 2019, a few towering cottonwoods still line the property on the west side, with new stands of hardwoods already growing on high points within the property. Many natural low spots may be made to hold water for the multitude of migrating waterfowl that come through this area each fall and winter. Plus, the bedding cover for the thriving local deer and pheasant population is phenomenal! A local Canada goose population, lots of fresh deer sign, and over twenty pheasants (including multiple new broods) were observed while photographing the farm, along with many whistling quail all around us.

Roughly 139 +/- acres of the property have been placed in the Wetland Reserve Program, giving the new owner the opportunity to build a true waterfowl paradise. Just under 6 acres remain out of the conservation easement on the very south end of the property, which allows you to build a hunting cabin or building for all your hunting gear, boats, and toys. Also on the 6 acres is a well-established access road complete with a professionally installed concrete boat ramp into the Missouri River. Currently, the Iowa DNR maintains the road and ramp as part of a lease agreement, which allows the public to access only the ramp. The lease does have an expiration date but may be extended as a small income stream for the new owner. One look at this place and it’s easy to see not only its current beauty but also its future potential as an outdoorsman’s river bottom paradise! Call today to schedule your private tour!
