27.5 +/- Acres of River Frontage, Tillable, Timber, and Waterfowl Ground

Property Description

Iowa River frontage that is not locked up in WRP is genuinely hard to find, and this is it. 27.5 acres in Louisa County sitting right outside Columbus Junction with roughly a 1/4 mile of river shoreline, 12 acres of productive tillable ground, and 15 acres of timber that creates one of the better deer funnels you will find on a tract this size. The access is easy, the taxes are low, and the opportunity here is real.

Tillable and Income

The farm carries 12.18 FSA acres of tillable ground currently in corn with a CSR2 of 64, well above county averages for this area and especially strong for river bottom ground. There is no lease agreement in place, leaving 2027 wide open for the new owner to set their own terms, whether that means installing a cash rent agreement with a local operator or farming it themselves. For a buyer looking to offset carrying costs while holding recreational ground, the income this tillable produces is a meaningful piece of the equation.

Hunting and Recreation

The 15 acres of timber along the Iowa River creates a natural pinch point that concentrates deer movement through this property. Timber this close to the river, with open agricultural ground on the edges, is exactly the kind of transition habitat that holds big deer and moves them during daylight. This area supports a strong whitetail population and a healthy pheasant population, and the river provides direct access to some of the better waterfowl hunting in eastern Iowa. Duck hunters looking to own their own river access do not find properties like this available often.

Iowa River Frontage

Approximately 1/4 of the Iowa River shoreline runs along this property, and it is not enrolled in WRP. River ground of this nature in Louisa County, accessible and unencumbered, does not come available regularly. Whether the draw is waterfowl, fishing, or simply owning a piece of productive river bottom, the frontage here is the kind of feature that sets this property apart from anything else at this acreage and price.

Location and Access

The property sits just outside Columbus Junction off Highway 92, giving it smooth hard surface access from multiple directions. Columbus Junction is close enough for fuel, equipment, and day-to-day logistics without the property feeling attached to town. Less than 12 miles from Muscatine and 35 minutes from Iowa City. Outside city limits and zoned agricultural.
