Welcome to Abel Island , probably the most unique and beautiful “island” airpark to be found anywhere on the Mississippi River channel.  Abel Island is Northeast Iowa’s drive-in, boat-in and fly-in residential oasis located two miles north of Guttenberg, Iowa.  Life is better on the river!

All of the 95+- homes on Abel Island have water frontage, with the Mississippi River channel fronting the island on the east and Bussey Lake providing water frontage and boat access from the west shorelines.  A private  2,600′ lighted turf airstrip (100′ in width) runs N/S through the center of the island with overruns at both ends.   The airstrip is commonly owned by the Abel Island residents.  The airstrip is operated and managed by Guttenberg Aviation Association.

 This level lot has 75′ of water frontage located directly on the Bussey Lake shoreline and is improved with a well maintained raised ranch home built new in 2005, with 1,400 sq. ft of finished living area; all on the upper level.  The 12×14 three seasons room fronting the lake accounts for an additional 168 sq.ft.   The open floor plan faces the lake and there’s plenty of room for guests with three bedrooms and two full baths on the main level.   The primary bedroom features an en-suite bathroom and walk in closet.   There’s ample space for storage and workshop in the lower level which includes an additional half bath.    Two overhead garage doors front Abel Drive with a third overhead door fronting the lake.  Great views of the airstrip and Mississippi River channel are possible from all three bedrooms from the east side of the home.   Quick boat access to the river channel.

The dimensions of the waterfront lot are 75×77 with a large area approximately 75×85 available for parking, gardening, camping etc. located directly across Abel Drive on the common area adjacent to the airstrip.

This home has been used seasonally  by the present owners, however,  would be great for year round living as well.   So whether you’re looking for a full time residence or a seasonal waterfront home on the Mississippi River in NE Iowa,  call and book your showing today.
