Heritage Land & Auction Group is proud to present 73.61 acres along Golden Ridge Road in northern Allamakee County, approximately 13 miles north of Waukon and 7 miles west of New Albin.
The timber is one of the defining features of this property. Few tracts in Northeast Iowa offer this level of native hardwood diversity, with white oak, black oak, swamp white oak, red oak, and hickory found throughout the property. A well-maintained trail system provides excellent access through the timber, making it easy to navigate for hunting, recreation, and ongoing land management.
At the top of the property, an established field provides additional flexibility. It can continue to be managed as upland wildlife cover or be converted into a destination food plot. Combined with the mature timber, diverse terrain, and surrounding habitat, the property provides excellent conditions for whitetail deer, wild turkey, pheasant, and the occasional ruffed grouse.
The property sits adjacent to Clear Creek Wildlife Management Area, providing access to approximately 1,000 acres of additional public land for hunting, trout fishing, and other outdoor recreation. For a buyer looking for a recreational property, that neighboring public ground significantly expands the amount of country available right outside the property.
Approximately 4.17 acres are currently in cropland with an 83 CSR2, an impressive soil rating for this part of Northeast Iowa. The cropland is free from lease for the 2027 growing season, giving the new owner the flexibility to farm it, lease it, or incorporate it into their wildlife and habitat management plans.
A 480-square-foot, one-story frame cabin, built in 2004, provides a comfortable base camp on the property. The cabin has electricity, no running water, and features a loft overlooking the valley below. Two additional storage sheds provide convenient space for a side-by-side, land-management equipment, tools, and other recreational or farm needs.
Deed restrictions are in place to help preserve the natural character of the property. These include a limit of 10 aggregate domestic animal units, four or fewer building structures within the prescribed building envelope with a cumulative maximum of 2,000 square feet, no subdivision of the property, and timber harvests conducted in accordance with a State of Iowa Department of Natural Resources Woodland Stewardship Plan. Buyers should review the complete recorded restrictions and associated aerial exhibit for full details.
1. No more than an aggregate of 10 domestic animal units, as defined by the Natural Resource Conservation Service, shall be permitted on the property.
2. 4 building structures or less, cumulatively not to exceed a total of two thousand (2000) square feet, shall be permitted in the prescribed building envelope as shown on attached aerial photo.
3. No other buildings or structures are allowed on the property.
4. No subdivision of the property.
5. Timber harvest only by prescribed State of Iowa Department of Natural Resources Woodland Stewardship Plan.
With diverse native hardwoods, an established trail system, productive cropland, quality wildlife habitat, a cabin and storage buildings, and roughly 1,000 acres of neighboring public land, this is a unique opportunity to own a well-rounded recreational property in northern Allamakee County.
Showings are available to prequalified buyers only.
