If you’ve been searching for a private recreational getaway in Eastern Iowa, this 72 m/l acre property along the Wapsipinicon River offers an outstanding combination of hunting, fishing, wildlife habitat, water recreation, and room to simply get away. Located just minutes southeast of Independence in Buchanan County, the property features a diverse mix of river-bottom timber, open areas, restored oxbows, wetlands, and direct access to the Wapsipinicon River. This blend of timber, water, cover, and edge habitat creates an excellent setting for whitetail deer, turkey, waterfowl, and other wildlife. A recently completed oxbow restoration project adds even more character while providing valuable wetland and wildlife habitat. Between the oxbows and river access, owners can enjoy fishing, kayaking, waterfowl hunting, wildlife watching, and exploring throughout the year. For hunters, the property offers thick cover, natural travel corridors, water sources, and secluded pockets tucked away from surrounding activity. An ATV/UTV-friendly trail system provides convenient access for hunting, recreation, and property maintenance. Several elevated areas also offer potential for a cabin, camper, RV, or private hunting camp. Spend the morning in a deer stand, the afternoon fishing or riding trails, and the evening around a campfire—all on your own river-bottom retreat.
