This exceptional 72.1-acre property, located along the Wapsipinicon River just 5.5 miles southeast of Independence, Iowa, offers a rare combination of high-quality wildlife habitat, recreational income potential, and future building opportunities. A recently completed oxbow restoration project has significantly improved the property’s water quality, wildlife use, and overall appeal. The restored oxbows provide outstanding fishing potential and waterfowl habitat, while the Wapsipinicon River offers additional recreational opportunities. This diverse river corridor creates a natural funnel for whitetail deer, along with excellent upland bird and migratory waterfowl hunting. The mix of river bottom timber, and open areas creates ideal bedding cover, travel passages, and feeding areas, making this a highly huntable and manageable tract. Whether you’re a bowhunter chasing trophy bucks, a waterfowl hunter setting up over the oxbows, or an angler enjoying the river, this farm offers year-round outdoor recreation. In addition to the recreational opportunities, the property features multiple elevated building sites with excellent views overlooking the river bottoms and restored wetlands. These sites are perfectly suited for a home, private cabin, hunting lodge, or even a private campground or retreat.
