About this home
This outstanding 44.37± acre property in Kossuth County offers a rare combination of scenic beauty, premier wildlife habitat, and forward-thinking conservation--making it an ideal fit for hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, conservation-minded buyers, or those seeking a peaceful setting to build a country home.
The farm includes 27.48 acres enrolled in the USDA Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) expiring in 2039, with an additional 16.39 acres enrolled in a CP42 -Pollinator Habitat Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). The CRP contract currently pays $325.43 per acre annually and will expire on Sept 30th, 2026. The CRP acres provide excellent flexibility--whether re-enrolled for continued income and habitat benefits, transitioned into productive agricultural use, or thoughtfully developed as a private homesite surrounded by natural beauty.
The CREP acres were professionally engineered and restored into a functioning wetland system designed to improve water quality within the Des Moines River Watershed. This strategically placed wetland intercepts subsurface drainage, naturally filtering water before it enters Iowa's rivers--delivering long-term environmental benefits while creating exceptional wildlife habitat and a striking landscape feature.
From a recreational standpoint, this property truly shines. The diverse mix of wetlands, native grasses, and pollinator habitat supports an impressive variety of wildlife, including waterfowl, upland game birds, whitetail deer, songbirds, shorebirds, as well as reptiles and amphibians. Whether your passions include waterfowl hunting, upland bird hunting, deer hunting, camping, photography, or bird watching, this property offers year-round enjoyment and immersion in nature.
CREP properties are limited to just 37 counties in north-central Iowa and must meet strict site-selection criteria, making them increasingly scarce and seldom available on the open market. Opportunities like this--where conservation income, recreational use, scenic beauty, and long-term environmental stewardship intersect--are truly rare....
