Few farms truly have it all. Spanning a mile and a half in each direction, this is the complete package, offering premier southern Iowa hunting shaped by 15 years of dedication. Its magnitude creates a next-level experience to go mano-a-mano with the great whitetail that our region is known for.

This property is elite because of two key factors:

1. Shape: The nearly perfect square shape maximizes the usable ground, creating an ideal canvas for advanced deer management. It has eight access points, allowing you to slip in and out of different chambers, no matter the wind direction. This amazing trail network is critical for maintaining low pressure, which keeps mature bucks comfortable and predictable.

2. Size: Contiguous hunting farms at this scale are rare. Here, you can be confident that a passed buck will survive another season. While no place is perfect and deer travel varies, a farm of this size and shape gives you the ability to have a significant influence on age structure. Its huge central fields draw deer into the middle in the afternoons, reducing dispersal onto neighboring ground. If your goal is to grow mature bucks, this farm provides the ideal arena.

What stands out most is all of the character this place has. The views are incredible, each one offering a different perspective of the land. But the most stunning spot, in my opinion, is the secluded building site overlooking the heart of the farm. With water and electricity already in place, it’s a dream location—private, scenic, and positioned to take it all in.

The next owner will inherit a comprehensive library of trail camera photos, meticulously archived since 2010. This data is so valuable when it comes to showcasing a farm's capabilities. And the history really speaks for itself, showcasing a 15-year commitment to documenting hundreds of great whitetails.

The turkey population is so strong in this area, and you’ll have plenty of thundering Toms to chase on spring mornings. And if you like to fish, you’ll love catching slabs out of the 1.5-acre pond. Mushroom hunting here is off the charts, especially along Soap Creek, which winds over two miles through the heart of the farm, providing a natural water source and dynamic travel corridor for all wildlife.

Everything that southern Iowa offers is showcased here. The landscape is a rich mosaic of oak timber, brushy fence lines, cedar stands, bottomland woodlands, tall native warm-season grasses, old pasture thickets, rock bluffs, and fertile farmland. This diverse terrain is impressive, and it has a lot of southern exposure.

The farm has 170 tillable acres, some of which have above-average or great soil ratings. There are also 104 acres in the Conservation Reserve Program. This, combined with a cash rent agreement, should bring in over $50,000 a year.
