This property offers the opportunity to live with unrivaled privacy, peace and quiet, and the beauty of Iowa's wilderness all while enjoying the comforts of a newer custom built home, an extensive shop and barn set up, and a short distance to town. Built in 1996, the 1,568 square foot home offers abundant natural light, vaulted ceilings, screened porch, refinished hardwood floors, new carpet in bedrooms, walkout full basement, and sits above the Cedar river at the end of a well maintained road, on 75.28 acres.

Whitetail deer, turkey, pheasant, and small game are abundant on this land which has been maintained both for wildlife habitat and productive use. Life on the river is peaceful and offers a self sufficient lifestyle. Enjoy your own boat dock, fishing for walleye, catfish, smallmouth bass, sturgeon--- or coffee in the morning sun and afternoon drinks in the shade. All buildings are separated from the 100 year floodplain by a historic railroad bed which now blooms with wildflowers and acts as a natural protection barrier. This section of the Cedar river and the rolling hills surrounding it are a well kept secret, and there is not a comparable property in Iowa. Built in 2005, the 60 x 72 pole building, once used as a horse arena is lined with native oak boards and connects to a 50x56 barn which boasts custom built native oak pens and hand forged gate hardware. These buildings connect to two heated, insulated shops: The first, (with in-floor heat) is built into the barn and measures 23x30. The second, measures 50x56 and is also insulated and heated. The two shops are joined by a 9x28 utility and wash room with drain and large sink. An outdoor wood boiler provides heat and hot water to the house and both shops. There is LP backup heat and water to the house. Other outbuildings are a 20x30 calving shed, and a 24x48 lambing building with a chicken coop, and an insulated area for cold storage. Large garden space, high average CSR land, abundant timber for firewood, hunting, fishing, fiber optic internet, 30 minutes from Iowa City, West Branch school district, and immediate possession make this property a rare mix of comfort, beauty, productivity, and old fashioned peace and quiet. Motivated sellers will negotiate with pre-approved or cash buyers only.
