Rare opportunity to own 68.78 acres of stunning Iowa countryside, adjoining 400+ acres of DNR-protected land known as Redbird Farms Wildlife Management Area. Conveniently located just 22 minutes from UIHC and downtown Iowa City. This diverse landscape features woodlands, pasture, and a serene pond perfect for walking and wildlife watching. Several charming outbuildings, including a garage attached chicken shed, and a classic red barn, enhance the property’s appeal. A 1917 Foursquare farmhouse anchors the acreage, featuring geothermal heating and a passive solar sunroom. The original part of the home has potential for those looking to make something their own. A 1990s addition, once a bookstore, offers expansive space for creative use. The original foundation was rebuilt in 2018 by Stumpf Construction. This property offers the tranquility of rural life with easy access to urban amenities. * * This is an Estate Sale and will transfer in As-Is condition.
