Don't underestimate the tremendous hunting that this property currently offers! Turkeys were strutting on two different points in the field each time we visited the farm, and we could hear the rooster pheasants cackling while enjoying the view. We observed a high population of whitetails in the area, and large bucks are taken nearby every year.The timber draw is quite deep and has very mature hardwoods. White Oak, Hickory, and Red Oak were the primary species present, and the size of these trees was very impressive. If you've dreamt of owning a beautiful farm convenient to the Iowa City/Cedar Rapids Corridor, please call the listing agents to schedule a private showing.
