Property Description

Here is a rare opportunity to own a versatile and thoughtfully developed 50 +/- acre property that offers both seclusion and accessibility. Located on the edge of the river town of Linn Grove, Iowa, this unique parcel is tucked off the road with a gravel driveway leading to a private, established build site. The site includes a well and electric service that was refreshed in 2023, ready for your dream home or getaway. Nature lovers will appreciate the native trees—oaks, crabapples, and plums and abundant wildlife, including deer, turkeys, pheasants, and a variety of birds. During a recent visit, a rare scarlet tanager was even spotted. A year-round creek winds through the property, adding to its natural charm.

For hunters and conservationists, this property delivers. Carefully managed for habitat and local deer genetics, it includes two deer stands, well-placed food plots, and good cover. Three food plots are currently planted with clover, alfalfa, turnips, and chicory to support year-round game activity. Combined with brome grass fields used for hay, farmable areas total approximately 11+/- acres. The current owner worked with NRCS and DNR to establish a conservation plan that includes a surveyed site for a pond, pollinator acres, and more, offering a solid base for the next owner to continue or customize. Whether your goal is hunting, hobby farming, or land stewardship, this property is ready to support it.

In addition to its recreational appeal, the property has features suited for agricultural or event use. A 30 foot diameter solid steel grain bin and a clean 40'x64' foot barn provide functional infrastructure that could support livestock, storage, or even be transformed into a picturesque event venue. With ample open ground, there is plenty of opportunity for pasture as well. You’ll be hard-pressed to find another property in the area that combines this level of diversity and character. A rare find—don’t miss out. Contact Land Agent Andrea Larson at (319) 572-9260 to schedule a viewing. Pre-approval is required prior to showing.
