Badger creek winds through the entire property offering over 1 miles of frontage. Mature timber and thick brush follow the creek and throughout many of the drainages, offering fantastic habitat for deer, turkey and other wildlife. Over 20 acres of the farm is enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), which helps filter water runoff into the creek and provides additional nesting cover. The crops, in addition to the annual income, provide as a food source for the wildlife. The neighboring properties to the East and West are a mix of CRP, tree plantings, marsh land, thick timber and brush, all of which provide phenomenal upland, deer, turkey, and waterfowl habitat as well. Along the North boundary of this property, Dubuque St / 20th Ave is gated off and is a private access road useable only by the owners of the adjacent properties. This road, along with the main road along 25th Ave create great access opportunities for those looking for hunting opportunities.

The Cumming area, just 2 miles north of this property, has been the focus of new developments for those looking for a stronger connection to the rural lifestyle, while still having the modern conveniences of the city close by.

Combined, the annual gross income is approximately $38,690 per year.
