Tract 2 of 2
Description
Tract 2: West 39.75± Acres
Hawkeye Creek winds through the center of this distinctive timber tract, creating a natural setting for outdoor recreation, exploration, and relaxation. Cool, clear water flows past exposed rock outcroppings, offering places to wade the creek, explore its rocky banks, or spend a summer afternoon listening to the water move through the timber. Secluded areas along the creek and throughout the property provide opportunities for camping, enjoying time with family and friends, or simply finding a quiet place to unwind.
For the outdoor enthusiast, the possibilities extend well beyond the creek. Explore the timber by ATV where permitted, set up camp, forage for seasonal finds, or spend fall mornings hunting deer and wild turkeys. The property lies within a timber corridor connecting the Mississippi River valley with the agricultural hills to the north and west, providing natural cover and travel routes for wildlife moving through the area. Its combination of timber, creek habitat, and secluded terrain makes it an appealing recreational property in a part of Iowa where wooded river bluffs define the landscape.
The property's history adds another layer of character. Until 1965, the land operated as a small gravel quarry, supplying riprap used to protect Mississippi River levees from erosion. That former use left behind exposed rock and distinctive geological features that give the property a character unlike more typical timber tracts in the region.
Walnut is plentiful throughout the property, including trees planted by the Nunnikhovens approximately 40 years ago. The established timber, rocky terrain, and creek corridor create a landscape worth exploring in every season.
Whether your interests include deer and turkey hunting, creekside camping, ATV riding where permitted, foraging, or simply owning a secluded piece of timber where you can get away from it all, this 39.75± acre tract offers a distinctive opportunity along Hawkeye.
