Description

If you’ve been searching for a private recreational getaway in Eastern Iowa, this 72.1 m/l acre property along the Wapsipinicon River offers a rare 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 combination of timber, water, cover, and edge habitat creates an outstanding setting for whitetail deer, turkey, waterfowl, and other wildlife. A recently completed oxbow restoration project adds significant character to the property while providing additional wetland and wildlife habitat. Between the oxbows and the Wapsipinicon River, owners can enjoy fishing, kayaking, waterfowl hunting, wildlife watching, and exploring the property throughout the year. For the hunter, the property offers thick cover, timber, natural travel corridors, water sources, and secluded areas tucked away from surrounding activity. An ATV/UTV-friendly trail system provides convenient access throughout the property for hunting, recreation, and property maintenance. This tract also offers an excellent opportunity to create your own private hunting camp or weekend retreat. Several elevated areas could make great locations for an off-grid cabin, camper or RV setup, or a simple base camp overlooking the surrounding river-bottom landscape. Spend the morning in a deer stand, the afternoon fishing or riding trails, and the evening around a campfire—all on your own property.
