Property Description
An exceptionally rare chance to own 20 acres of timbered land in the historic Badger Creek Watershed District. Established in 1961 for land conservation, the district features 43 flood-control structures designed to preserve topsoil and prevent erosion. It initially involved 34,346 acres of privately owned land and included 210 farms. This picturesque property offers a view of Iowa at its most natural, wild, unspoiled, and pristine, providing the perfect setting for a home nestled among native trees, grasslands, and wildflowers, including choke cherry, Osage orange, black walnut, eastern red cedar, and mulberry trees. Shrubs such as multiflora rose and wild rose, along with abundant native grasses, further enhance the natural landscape. Here, all seasons offer a glimpse into untamed beauty, from fall leaves to springtime blooms. There is something exceptional about living among the stunning hills of Madison County. Embrace the tranquility of untouched land and create a life that offers access to nature. Conveniently cleared entrance points allow for easy building or hunting access. Modern amenities are within reach: fiber-optic internet service is available at the road, ensuring fast and reliable connectivity for remote work or entertainment; both water and electric utilities are conveniently located nearby. Just 15 minutes from schools, shopping, and entertainment, this is a unique opportunity to create your dream residence or premier hunting retreat on private acreage.
