Mississippi River. Forest Hill Farms is located atop Wyoming Hill, the highest point in the area, which gives a breath taking view of the awesome and mighty Mississippi. The bluffs and ravines of Forest Hill Farms are part of the Mississippi River terrain. On its journey to becoming the third longest river in the world, its shorelines support vast forests of hardwood and fir trees, and its waters are home to every species of fish, except two, found in North America. In fact, your perch atop Forest Hill Farms gives you an unobstructed view of what is considered one of the top ten tourist attractions in the world. So powerful is the river’s pull, that it brings in over 8 billion dollars in foreign money each year. Forest Hill Farms is situated in the heart of some of the most abundant wildlife
habitat in the country, Whitetail deer, raccoons, wild turkeys, coyotes, rabbits,
squirrels, and several other species of fur-bearing animals all make their home along the
shores of the Mississippi River. But perhaps most beautiful of all is the wide variety of
bird life that nests in the hardwood forest and peaceful meadows of the river’s
floodplain. From your spectacular view atop Forest Hill Farms, you see the
heart-stopping dive bomber descent of an American Bald Eagle when it spots a fish in
shallow water. Forest Hill Farms is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a
landmark horse property with unlimited potential for profit and development.
All of the horse facilities are on 25 acres, leaving 50 acres (more or less) of prime development land, if one so desires, already zoned residential. Perfect for an equestrian horse property country club development, offering the discerning homebuyer a chance to enjoy the horse facilities and the charm of small town living, yet only minutes from all the conveniences of the Quad Cities. At the present time the 50 acres section is used for hay production on the 25 acre hayfield. This hayfield yields top quality hay at cost $0.48 per bale. This hayfield is in it's second year of re-seeding with 60% grass and 40% alfalfa. Planted for quality horse hay.
