Excellent opportunity to purchase 125+ acres of recreational land along the Mississippi/Skunk River just north of Ft. Madison. The property sits at the confluence of the Skunk River and the Mississippi River, allowing for endless recreational options: Hunting, fishing, boating, kayaking, etc. The property also wraps around a state-owned boat ramp, providing easy access to the river. Potential buyers can enjoy deer hunting, turkey hunting, and waterfowl opportunities. The property is bordered to the north by the Blackhawk Bottoms management area, which is intensively cared for by Iowa DNR. Large open area of the timber could easily be converted into waterfowl habitat. Great location in the heart of the Mississippi River flyway! Large acreage ag fields neighbor the property to the south. There is no doubt this property is home to a solid amount of the wildlife in the area. Grassy edges of the levee provide excellent habitat for small game and early migrating waterfowl species. The property does have some marketable timber, and extremely mature trees can be seen from the road. 80 +/- acres are included in the Forest Reserve Program and are exempt from property tax. At $1,565/ac, this is a very low cost of entry to enjoy over 100 acres in SE Iowa. An awesome deal for the right buyer!
