Description

Your rural Washington County retreat awaits. Peoples Company is pleased to present this exceptional 20.91-acre property offering the perfect blend of privacy, recreation, income potential, and an outstanding location for your future home or weekend getaway.

Tucked away among mature timber and rolling countryside, this property provides a rare opportunity to create your own private sanctuary while maintaining convenient access to nearby communities via U.S. Highway 218. Whether commuting to Iowa City, Washington, Mount Pleasant, or surrounding areas, you'll enjoy the balance of rural seclusion and modern convenience.

Imagine starting each morning with panoramic Iowa sunrises overlooking native grasses and timbered ridges while deer, turkey, and other wildlife move quietly through the landscape. The property's setting creates an immediate sense of peace and tranquility, offering the kind of privacy that is increasingly difficult to find in today's market.

The property includes 10.69 acres enrolled in the CP38E-25 Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), generating annual income of $2,061.50 through September 2035 at a rate of $192.85 per acre. Beyond the income stream, the established habitat provides excellent cover and forage for wildlife, enhancing the recreational appeal of the property. The current CRP contract was recently enrolled and may be bought out for a nominal fee if a future owner desires additional flexibility. Please contact the listing agent for details.

In addition to the CRP acres, approximately 3.56 open acres offer an ideal location for a homesite, food plots, hobby farming, or other agricultural uses. For outdoor enthusiasts, the property's location is especially appealing. Surrounded by more than 1,000 acres of neighboring timber and cover, the area supports a healthy population of whitetail deer and wild turkey. With a few strategically placed food plots, this property could become an outstanding hunting and wildlife destination.

The mature timber consists of oak and other desirable hardwood species, providing beauty, habitat diversity, and the natural backdrop that makes this property truly special. As you enter the open field and take in the surrounding timbered landscape, you'll immediately appreciate the privacy and serenity that this property offers.

Whether you are searching for a premier rural building site, a recreational escape, an investment with income-producing potential, or a combination of all three, this Washington County property deserves your attention. Opportunities to own a tract of this size with buildability, income, wildlife habitat, and exceptional privacy are increasingly rare.
