2681 Casey Avenue, , IA
Significant timber stand improvements have also been completed to enhance the property's long-term habitat and timber diversity. Invasive species have been addressed while desirable native trees have been encouraged, creating a healthier and more diverse woodland environment. The timber includes an impressive variety of species such as butternut, chinkapin, walnut, hickory, white oak, pin oak, mulberry, sycamore, catalpa, and more. More than 50 additional trees have recently been planted, including pin oak, white oak, and American plum.
The property's habitat improvements extend beyond the timber. A diverse wildflower population provides additional habitat and ecological value, and the property is reported to be the only location in Muscatine County where the rare Betony wildflower has been found. Pheasant habitat has been further enhanced through edge feathering and the mechanical removal of honeysuckle, along with prescribed fire to improve native vegetation and create ideal nesting and cover areas. Adding to the property's recreational appeal is its location along the 176-acre Cedar Bluffs Recreation Area, a Muscatine County park bordering the property to the south. This provides an expansive adjoining recreational area and the potential to significantly expand the overall hunting experience.
Access is excellent while maintaining a desirable level of privacy. The property sits at the end of a dead-end, county-maintained road, providing a quiet and secluded setting with no through traffic. Electrical service is already available to the property, with a meter on site and power access running along the entire western border. A 30' x 40' concrete slab is already in place, along with a couple of attractive potential building sites, offering opportunities for a home, future cabin, shop, hunting lodge, or recreational structure.
What separates this property from an ordinary tract of recreational ground is the depth and quality of the improvements already completed. It is a carefully managed recreational property with established wildlife habitat, quality hunting opportunities, extensive improvements, excellent access, and room to create something truly special.
This is not simply land with deer on it.
It is a property where habitat has been intentionally shaped around wildlife. Where timber has been improved. Where invasive species have been addressed. Where food plots have been established. Where bedding and edge cover have been preserved. Where pheasant habitat has been enhanced. Where new trees have been planted. Where access has been developed. And where multiple stand and blind locations are already in place.
