Rare opportunity to own a high-quality 41.79-acre recreational farm in Greene County, Iowa, located just 3.5 miles west of Jefferson. This diverse property sits only ¾ mile from the North Raccoon River, placing it within a proven river valley corridor known for excellent whitetail deer and turkey hunting. The farm features approximately 60% mature timber and 11 acres m/l of open hay ground with a 78.3 CSR2, currently generating $1,500 annually in cash rent, with potential for row crop conversion. A 2-acre food plot and neighboring ag fields enhance year-round wildlife habitat. The front of the property offers a beautiful 5-acre hay/clover field, ideal for a home or cabin site with scenic views and privacy. Utilities include power and fiber at the road; a well and septic system would be required (area wells approx. 150 ft). The back half features rolling terrain with over 60 feet of elevation change, mature hardwoods including oak, hickory, and cherry, plus a year-round creek creating excellent habitat and natural travel corridors. Additional highlights include access from 230th Street, established trails, and close proximity to Eureka Bridge river access for fishing and kayaking. Convenient location near Highway 30 with easy access to Ames and Des Moines. Strong deer history, low hunting pressure, and excellent recreational appeal make this a standout smaller acreage tract. Rare offering in a tightly held area with strong neighborhood land stewardship.
