About This Lot
This Iowa River property is the ultimate place to enjoy every season, and especially hunting season. With established food plots, a trail system, and excellent deer and turkey habitat, this is a chance to own an affordable river bottom hunting property with year-round recreation. It's located just southeast of the town of Tama in south central Tama County, on the south side of the railroad tracks, and on the north side of the Iowa River.If you're looking for pure recreation, especially hunting and fishing, these river bottoms are absolutely the best bang for your buck. Once you go through the gated entrance, a mowed trail takes you through the property and down to one of the coolest features, a scenic sandbar along the river, a perfect place to fish, camp, and enjoy those summer days by the water. These sandbars are a classic tradition here in the Midwest on hot summer days.This land has a natural composition for hunting with semi-open areas, scattered trees, and tall grasses. Those give you wide views for spotting cruising bucks in the fall and the flocks of turkeys in the spring, while the thicker timber and the tall grass provide ideal bedding cover. There are four food plots that are planted in greens, and these provide a nice attraction to get the deer into bow range in the fall. You'll notice treestands on every one of these food plots. The seller has planted apple, pear, peach, and plum trees in a couple of different parts of the property, and once they mature, they'll offer another food source for the wildlife. The seller has documented some great bucks over the years!The next owner will love this place every season of the year! In the winter, you can spend time trapping here along these trails. In the springtime, aside from turkey hunting, there's going to be a lot of mushrooms that grow here. Of course, in the summer, you'll have the sand bar to get wild on, and then in the fall, its great time to hunt the mature bucks that roam the Iowa River Valley. The taxes last year were $572, making this an affordable place to own, and the asking price per acre is over half less than what a lot of upland hunting property is selling for. It's important to note that the Wetland Conservation Easement prohibits building on the property.These river corridors are some of the best habitats you can find in the Midwest with consistent wildlife potential. What a great opportunity to invest in your own land and enjoy the great outdoors!
