Dogwood Avenue, Lot#WP001, Brighton, IA 52540 - Washington County

This scenic farm lies next to a solid forest of no-hunting wildlife sanctuary; northwest of Brighton, among the hills of the notorious Skunk River. The rolling topography, open pasture, tillable potential, timber, and river frontage are all ingredients to its desirable landscape. It borders Brinton Timber, a 320-acre county park that is a refuge for the neighboring wildlife because no hunting is allowed. This is an exclusive advantage for those who want to manage land for the trophy whitetails of southeast Iowa.Encompassing approximately 70 acres of open ground and 100 acres of timber/brush, this farm offers great diversity and opportunity for architecting into a true wildlife paradise. In the evenings, unpressured deer will travel from the refuge onto the farm, offering a natural advantage for strategic food plots. Owning land next to this no-hunting sanctuary is a huge advantage to growing and hunting big mature bucks. Along with the whitetails, this property holds turkey, small game, predator, waterfowl, and plenty of Morel mushrooms; while the winding bank of the river will provide secluded fishing holes. This is a true recreational paradise!Cutting through the middle is a winding spring-fed creek, which offers clean flowing water year-round, a rare bonus for this part of Iowa. The entire perimeter of the property is lined with new fencing, and multiple interior pastures have been fenced, allowing for adequate grazing practices. Trails spread across the farm for easy access with equipment to every corner of the property. The cattle pastures offer multiple open areas that are flat enough for hay or row crop production if the next owner desires to transition the farm out of livestock grazing.Only a few hundred yards off the road is a pond with multiple hilltops overlooking the water. Here would be a fantastic place to build a home or cabin in an area that would not disturb the rest of the farm. The road transitions to a blacktop just a hundred yards south of the entrance. Just a short two miles to the south is Lake Darling, a fantastic recreational park that does not allow antlered harvest.If you’re interested in owning the next chapter of this one-of-a-kind farm, please give Whitetail Properties Land Specialist Ben Harshyne a call to schedule a private tour.
