Property Info

Description

Peoples Company is pleased to present Hillcrest Haven, a rare opportunity to purchase a one of a kind property in the picturesque hills of Lee County, Iowa. Whether you are looking for that perfect place to call home, a secluded weekend getaway, or a year-round recreational property, this may be the one that you’ve been searching for. The property features a luxurious 2,903 SF custom-built home with log siding overlooking a four-acre stocked pond surrounded by 328 acres m/l of timber and farmland at the end of a private dead-end road.

This secluded property is home to many species of wildlife including an abundant population of deer and turkeys. Hunting has not been allowed in nearly 40 years, creating a virtual wildlife sanctuary. The healthy age structure of the deer herd was evident soon after the trail cameras were deployed. This is a rare opportunity to start with a completely “clean-slate” and develop a farm into that world-class hunting property you’ve always dreamed about.

The farm consists of a diverse mix of wildlife habitat including mature timber, brush, cedar thickets, riparian buffer strips, native grasses, wildflowers, and legumes. Annual income from the 23.9 acres of row crop and 19.75 acres enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program will help make the farm payment. Over three miles of groomed trails allow easy access to all parts of the property. Several potential food plot locations exist along the many natural deer travel routes throughout the property.
