This property is located approx. 3 miles north of New London and within the NLS school district. The general area is a mixture of mature woods, wetlands and grasslands. The property is situated just NW of the intersection of Co Rd 33 and Co Rd 9 and off of 70th St NE which mainly only serves the few homes along it making it a quiet setting but close to paved roads (see the aerial photos for specifics within the photo set).
This property mimics those attributes of the general area in having an approx. 38.9 acre open restored prairie component enrolled in CRP until Oct. 2029 that provides an annual income of just over $5,700/year. The CRP was burned this spring and satisfied the mid-contract management requirement rejuvenating it for years to come. I recently revisited the property and the Big Bluestem, is coming back real nice as well as some other grass species and forbs. This cover not only provides good nesting habitat for pheasants but early season hunting as well.
The open prairie gives way north and east to the wooded fringe areas. The area as a whole has a good population of deer and with a large slough that is part of this property on the east side as well as the other slough/swamp complexes to the north, they provide great bedding and sanctuaries. There is then large wooded cover to the south, irrigated cropland to the south and it’s only a matter of time that a potential good buck walks through the land and/or beds right on it. Let’s not forget about turkeys as well. They also frequent the area as well.
This property would also make for a great place to build your future dream country estate as far off the road as you would desire. The neighbor to the North has an easement over the existing driveway that runs through this property already which you may be able to tap off of. Speaking of building, the zoning on the property is in “A-2 General Ag. District” which according to the county, will allow for up to 4 building eligibilities on a quarter/quarter section so multiple development lots are a possibility as well (buyer to check with the zoning dept. as far as any building confirmations and applicable zoning ordinances specifically to this property and their desired use).
If building is desired to be done immediately and assuming one would want to do so within the CRP area, potential to pull some areas out (with payback and penalty) to accommodate this.
All in all, this property lies not only in a great area with plenty of lakes, provides income through CRP, provides the opportunity to hunt, build or even develop further.
