Experience the epitome of southern Iowa hunting on this dream farm, turn-key with a rich history of exceptional whitetail hunting, income-producing acres, and a perfect cabin.
This farm stands out from the region’s rolling pastures and grasslands, serving as a central hub for major wildlife cover and meticulously set up for premium whitetail hunting. It has a remarkable bedding cover, mature hardwood timber, a creek bottom, and hellacious thickets. The overgrown pasture here is a perfect whitetail habitat, thanks to briars, native grasses, young trees, and brambles that provide year-round browse and bedding. Brushy fence lines naturally connect to bedding areas, creating reliable travel corridors where you can intercept the giant whitetails for which this farm is known.
Approximately 70-80 acres of tillable land are cash rented at $140/acre. This agreement has been on a year-to-year basis. Some of these acres would be excellent for late-season hunting if left standing, while three fall food plots are currently planted in brassicas and cereal grain. The farm has two creeks and two ponds, ensuring abundant water for wildlife.
This property is loaded with deer, and the owner said seeing 20+ deer during any fall sit is common. In the late season, leaving standing grain can attract 100 or more deer in an afternoon hunt. The owners have been very thorough in documenting the whitetail history. A deep trail camera archive proves this farm grows trophy whitetails and holds many mature bucks.
The 42x40 cabin has two bedrooms, one bathroom, a great room, a laundry room, and a full kitchen. It has a concrete porch with an overhang, perfect for relaxing while watching the backyard food plot. Notable features include AC, spray foam insulation, 200 amp service, rural water, a new septic system (2018), hickory cabinets, luxury vinyl plank flooring, stamped concrete, and newer appliances. An attached garage with a loft provides ample space for storing hunting equipment, a tractor, and a side-by-side.
Here is a rare chance to own a truly proven hunting farm with a beautiful and cozy place to stay. For further details or to arrange a private showing, please get in touch with the listing agents, Jeff Propst or Ben Harshyne, with Whitetail Properties Real Estate.
