Listing #19559 - 95.80 Acres In Greene County, IA

Greene County, Iowa Timber and Recreational Land Available! Peoples Company is pleased to present 95.80 acres m/l (to be surveyed) of premier timber and recreational land located southeast of Jefferson, Iowa. Featuring North Raccoon River frontage, Hardin Creek, mature hardwood timber, and Certified Organic cropland acres, this property offers an exceptional combination of hunting, wildlife habitat, income potential, and future building-site opportunities. Adding to its significance, this property has been recognized as a Century Farm in 2020 and has remained in the same family for generations, making this the first time it has been available to the public in over 100 years.

The property is centered around a diverse recreational landscape that is increasingly difficult to find in west-central Iowa. Mature hardwood timber provides excellent cover and natural habitat for whitetail deer, wild turkey, and a variety of other wildlife species. The North Raccoon River and Hardin Creek wind through the property, creating year-round water sources while naturally funneling deer movement throughout the property.

For hunters, the combination of river corridor habitat, hardwood timber, dense cover, and secluded openings creates numerous opportunities for strategically placed tree stands, blind locations, and future food plot development. The 6.72 FSA cropland acres, currently USDA Certified Organic, provide the potential for continued farm income or can be incorporated into a wildlife management program designed to attract and hold game throughout the season. These acres have been carefully managed under organic production practices, with no spraying occurring within or around the organic fields. The current tenant has expressed interest in negotiating a lease with the new owner to continue farming the organic acres, offering potential income while maintaining the integrity of the certification.
The tract is enrolled in the Forest Reserve Program, providing valuable tax advantages while preserving the property's mature timber resource. The diverse topography, river frontage, and cover create the type of recreational setting sought after by hunters and outdoor enthusiasts looking for a private retreat with long-term ownership appeal.

Adding to the property's versatility is a former homesite located along paved County Road P-30, locally known as the "Squirrel Hollow Road". A previous residence, well, and electrical service once existed on the property, offering a potential opportunity for a future cabin, hunting lodge, or country home nestled among the mature timber and protected by an established natural windbreak. Buyers should independently verify building eligibility and development opportunities.

Whether you're looking for a destination hunting property, a recreational getaway, a riverfront timber tract, or a long-term land investment, this Greene County property delivers a unique combination of habitat, water, organic cropland, and recreational enjoyment.
