Description

The Knudtson Farm encompasses 669.82 taxable acres situated along the Rock River, just east of the Quad Cities. Its location between Interstates 80 and 88 provides convenient access to major transportation routes, complemented by excellent road frontage on blacktop County Highway 4. The expansive property features 555.79 FSA cropland acres with a highly productive soil PI of 132.2. A significant portion of the tillable land is protected by a levee maintained by the Army Corps of Engineers. This tillable acreage has been diligently managed with drainage tile, surface drains, filter-strip lined drainage ditches, and an electric water pump. Additionally, the property includes 63.28 acres enrolled in the CRP.

Beyond the high-quality farmland, the wooded river frontage along the Rock River presents abundant recreational opportunities with convenient in-season access via the levee. The tree-lined property, along with the grassy CRP acreage, offers seclusion for white-tailed deer and Canadian geese. Notably, the property has never been logged and boasts an estimated 75+ acres of timber along the Rock River.

A nearby substation and proximity to a major population center also present potential for solar energy development.

Located in Rock Island County, Zuma Township, within Sections 22, 23, 26, and 27, the farm lies near the Quad Cities, approximately 6 miles east of East Moline and northwest of Geneseo. Owned by the Knudtson Family for generations, the property has been meticulously maintained, with soil test data and yield history available. This well-cared-for farm offers diverse possibilities for any new owner. Flexible closing dates and terms make it an ideal opportunity for a 1031 exchange investor.
