Mississippi Riv, Wever, IA 52658

Here’s a rare opportunity to own a true piece of American lore—325 acres of remote island ground in the Mississippi River in southeast Iowa. Located near Wever, IA, and Dallas City, IL, just a couple of hundred yards from the public boat launch, access is simple, and the adventure begins the moment you push off. It offers awesome hunting and fishing opportunities, and has a $0 property tax payment! "Grape Island" sits just northeast of Fort Madison, and is under two hours from the Quad Cities, Iowa City corridor, and Quincy, Illinois. This island holds a significant amount of mature Silver Maple timber, with harvest potential. A portion of the property has been logged in the past, but there is a massive area that has not been. The duck hunting should be excellent, with backwater sloughs and river-edge cover that make it a magnet for migrating birds. On the southern end there is a large mouth of water that pools north into the interior of the property, a fantastic place to have a private blind. Whitetail sign is all over with trails and rub lines, offering a well-rounded mix for hunters. There are pockets of thick cover that create a variety of edges under the tree canopy. Directly west is a massive valley of crop land, so the deer have a nearby sanctuary on this island, especially after harvest time in the fall. Whether you’re a seasoned hunter, a timber-minded investor, or looking for your own slice of solitude, this is a unique, affordable opportunity!
