Property Info

Description

Peoples Company is pleased to be representing the sale of one of the more unique West Central Iowa recreational properties.  Locally dubbed as the “River Farm” for its coveted location along the North Raccoon River, this 237.06 m/l acre property meets anyone’s definition of outdoor recreation. Improvements and features include an impressive 21 m/l acre lake for kayaking and fishing, motocross tracks for the avid dirt biker, almost 6.5 miles of groomed trails extending to every corner of the property, 3,950 feet (3/4 mile) of river frontage and spectacular views of the always impressive Raccoon River Valley. 

The “River Farm” is located just 4 miles west of Jefferson, Iowa in Greene County and will be offered as two individual tracts and will be sold via Online Only Auction.  The bidding is currently LIVE and will remain open until Thursday, September 10th at 4:00 P.M. (CST). Tract 1 consists of 91.33 acres m/l and includes 43.68 FSA farmland acres with a CSR2 rating of 73.1. Tract 2 consists of 145.73 acres m/l and includes 24.07 FSA farmland acres with a CSR2 rating of 83.9. The farm lease will be open for the 2021 farm year.

Unmatched accessibility with frontage along US Hwy 30 and a central location to nearby cities with distances of 65 miles to West Des Moines, 43 miles to Ft. Dodge, 22 miles to Carroll, and 4 miles from Jefferson. Ultra-private setting with a dead-end gravel road serving as the only access to the farm and prevents unwanted wildlife pressure or disruption of privacy. The internal trail system has been well managed and allows access by foot or ATV/UTV to check photos on a trail cam, visit one of the many spots for your deer stand, or visit a scenic lookout point. You’ll find abundant wildlife here in the gravel-pit pond, which reaches depths of over 20 feet and is chock-full of a variety of fish including bass, bluegill, and catfish; and the blocks of hardwood timber should prove that land adjacent to river systems produce the largest whitetails and have exceptional turkey hunting.

* * The house/acreage site and the gravel lot located on the east side of the property are not included in the sale and are in the process of having a survey completed.  The final acres for each tract are subject to change based upon final survey. Purchase price will adjust to reflect the adjustment in acres. All maps and boundaries are best estimates of Peoples Company and the Seller. **
