Property Description

Whether you’re looking to purchase a turn-key business as an investment or you’ve just always wanted to own a piece of Iowa’s Loess Hills, this property has everything you’re looking for. Nestled in the heart of southwest Iowa’s famous Loess Hills, Horse Creek Adventures has everything you want in a business that screams outdoor adventure. There is so much to take in on this breathtaking 169-acre property located just west of Sydney, Iowa, minutes from Nebraska City, and under an hour from Omaha and Lincoln. Horse Creek Adventures has been carefully curated to provide guests with the quiet country atmosphere that so many people seek while away from home. Guests have multiple ways to enjoy their stay, including a rustic fully finished, and furnished AirBNB-style building; camper spots with full hook-ups; as well as primitive log cabins and tent camping locations dotted throughout the timbered hillsides.


With a live creek feeding a 35-foot-deep pond, the fishing is phenomenal, as it’s stocked with trophy bass, crappie, and bluegill. Wildlife is plentiful on the property with almost no hunting pressure over the last decade. This area is known for producing giant whitetail and large turkey flocks, and this property has both! Surrounded by miles of timbered bluffs, and with Waubonsie State Park in close proximity, this property is already holding multiple trophy whitetails and a large flock of resident turkeys. Over 120 acres of the property remain undeveloped, giving a great opportunity for building out additional income streams as a hunting outfitter. Or make it your personal hunting paradise, all while the business makes you money!


Trailhead Station is a newly built 64'x40' building offering another six bedrooms, three bathrooms, a full kitchen, a laundry room, and two living areas. The attention to detail is noticeable in every aspect of Trailhead Station’s design and décor, and the long-term demand in bookings shows its immediate success. At the front of the property, ten 80-foot-long camper spots can be rented, offering 50-amp service, on-demand water hook-ups, and a large corral to hold their personal horses they can bring in.


Guests can travel deeper into the hills to stay in a more primitive setting in one of six log cabins or bring their own tent to multiple managed tent camping spots available along the trails. The log cabins are all perched on 20'x20' decks built into hilltops with some of the most breathtaking views imaginable in the Midwest. Each camping spot offers campfire rings and corrals to keep their horses on-site for trail riding. Guests can hike or ride their horses on roughly five miles of trails meandering throughout the property. The trails take you over the hills and through dense hardwood timber draws filled with giant oak and walnut trees, as well as stops along the seasonal creek and crystal clear pond towards the east end of the property. This top-notch operation has all the infrastructure and customer base in place to continue a successful business with great ROI, as well as plenty of untouched land and opportunities for growth. This one you truly need to see to believe! Call today to schedule your private tour!
