About La Motte

Tucked into the rolling hills of northern Jackson County, La Motte is a quiet rural community of around two hundred people. It offers a classic small-town feel surrounded by open farmland and scenic creek valleys, making it a great fit if you appreciate wide open spaces and a slower pace. Everyday life is peaceful, yet you are only about twenty minutes south of Dubuque for shopping, dining, and jobs, as well as a quick drive from Bellevue on the Mississippi River. With local students attending Bellevue schools, it provides a nice balance of quiet country living and easy regional access.
