325th Street, Lot #WP001 , Marengo, IA 52301(Iowa County)

PRICE REDUCED! Priced to sell, this solid river bottom timber tract located northeast of Marengo shouldn’t last long! As you drive over the levy and drop down into this property, the stress of life will be left on the other side because you’re entering one of the prettiest pieces of land I’ve stepped on in Eastern Iowa. A secluded 17-acre field in the center is home base for the wildlife and cover that surrounds it. As I was shooting photos in the evening light, five deer meandered across the freshly cut hay towards the river without a care in the world. The seller purposefully left a couple cottonwoods stand which makes for a postcard-quality view. Towering soft maples dominate the composition of the timber, along with other marketable hardwood species. River bottom makes for phenomenal hunting habitat, and looking at how this property sits within the larger neighborhood view, many different deer will consistently travel right through it. The northwest corner is going to be hot in November! Another benefit is the field naturally has an ideal shape for you to set up several food plots that would hunt in every wind direction. With the nearly impenetrable screen of young willows serving as a screen, the entry and exit would be a 10/10! Directly north across the Iowa River is a large public hunting Wildlife Management Area, which would give you many more options in addition to your exclusive access on this tract. The Iowa River carves the north line, where you can have 1,000 yards of private riverbank fishing. You’ll find catfish, northern pike, walleye, bass, and panfish available to be caught right here. If fishing and hunting isn’t your thing, this property could make for a choice location to ride ATVs and take friends or family camping. Every aspect of the outdoors is available on this one. Finally, the taxes are only $103/year m/l because nearly all of this property is enrolled in the popular Forest Reserve Program. These qualifying acres are non-taxed. Compare that to other similar sized properties in the area, and you are saving a lot of money each year! Zero acres are under the Wetland Reserve Program easement. Legal 24/7 access is through the ball field parking lot, in addition to the entire west line that touches V66. For more information or to schedule a showing appointment, call me today.
