Greene County, Iowa Income-Producing Recreational Ground Available! Peoples Company is pleased to present 17.41 acres m/l (to be surveyed) of recreational land with reliable income and North Raccoon River frontage located southeast of Jefferson, Iowa. This unique property offers a rare opportunity to own an acreage in a beautiful wildlife setting that can be enjoyed for generations to come. Adding to its appeal, this tract is part of a Century Farm that has remained in the same family for generations and has not been available to the public in more than 100 years, making this a rare opportunity to own a piece of Greene County land.

Access is from paved County Road P-30 (locally known as the "Squirrel Hollow Road"), leading to a property that combines scenic river views, established timber, income-producing CRP acres, and diverse wildlife habitat. The North Raccoon River forms the western boundary of the tract, creating both an attractive natural backdrop and a major wildlife corridor that supports whitetail deer, wild turkey, waterfowl, and numerous other species throughout the year.

The property's diverse landscape offers excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing, hunting, outdoor recreation, and simply enjoying the beauty of the river valley. An elevated opening in the northern portion of the tract overlooks the North Raccoon River and provides impressive views of the surrounding countryside. Preliminary information from the Iowa DNR indicates that portions of the property's higher elevations may have building site potential; however, buyers should conduct their own due diligence regarding floodplain regulations, permitting requirements, and building eligibility.
Currently, 7.60 acres are enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), producing $2,280 annually ($300/acre) through September 30, 2031. The established CP-23 Wetland Restoration practice provides valuable cover, nesting habitat, and food sources that attract and hold wildlife throughout the year.

A portion of the property is also enrolled in the Forest Reserve, providing tax benefits while preserving the natural character and beauty of the timbered areas. The combination of annual income, recreational opportunities, scenic river frontage, and long-term ownership appeal makes this property an exceptional offering for outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, and buyers seeking an affordable rural escape.
