Less than one hour from Cedar Rapids and the Quad Cities, this 3 bed/3 bath log cabin sits among gently rolling hills in eastern Cedar County. This home is 2,538 finished square feet with oak cabinets and an open floor plan. The stone fireplace connects the kitchen and living room and takes your eyes up the vaulted ceilings to the exposed beams. The main floor has 2bd/2bth and a laundry room. Above the main floor is a loft with 1bd/1bth. The walk-out basement is finished with a living room, full bathroom, and extra recreational space. If you work from home, you’ll have access to 5G fiber internet that extends to the 40X70 metal shop. The outbuilding has heat and electricity. An equally desirable part of this property is the 40 acres that it sits on. Rows of evergreens and oak trees outline the perimeter which creates perfect seclusion and bedding for wildlife. Mowed trails throughout the property are great for hiking or riding horses and ATV’s. Two naturally occurring ponds don’t sustain water but fill up during wet seasons and attract all kinds of waterfowl. Abundant deer and pheasant population, this property is a wildlife sanctuary. There are 29 total acres enrolled in CRP programs. One expires in 2026 paying $2,223 annually and the second expires in 2032 paying $4,536 annually. To experience everything this property has to offer you must see it in person. Reach out to the listing agent to schedule your private showing - 319-432-3420
