On the crisp autumn morning when I took photos of this listing; Whitetails skirted the frosted hay meadows, Canada Geese honked as they hovered the lake fog, and a Barred Owl monitored my every move from her nearby white pine. Whitetail Properties Real Estate is proud to represent this exclusive opportunity that offers seclusion, nature, and building sites on the locally-famed Sugar Bottom Road. Ascending the driveway, a towering stand of pines greet you to a flat hilltop; the prime location to design your forever home. The west border of this all timber property touches US Army Corps of Engineers land adjacent to the Coralville Reservoir. Dense vegetation and topography attract local wildlife. The “Barn Ridge” that extends west had a massive scrape on it this fall, and I spotted a beautiful 160” buck bedded in the thicket nearby. Several clearings could become food plot locations, making this a solid private hunting tract. Nearby, the Iowa River corridor has thousands of public hunting acres that would be a short drive from here. The Johnson County Planning and Zoning Department’s proposed Unified Development Ordinance very well may change the “40-acre rule” that currently exempts building permits, in-turn significantly limiting rural home building sites in the foreseeable future. Fortunately, this property is zoned Residential; it’s a canvas to build (even several houses if planned properly) in the coveted Sugar Bottom area. The listing agent has a recently performed appraisal on file that supports the asking price. Call the listing agent today for more information and a private showing.
