This incredible property in the iconic Loess Hills of southwest Iowa offers a unique opportunity to own a slice of picturesque recreational land. Turnkey recreational properties like this rarely come to the open market. This highly managed property has been meticulously improved over the years to offer many opportunities to the new owner, whether you’re in the market for a full-time residence, a weekend getaway, or an extremely comfortable hunting camp for your family and friends.
As you enter the property on the private driveway, you’ll immediately notice the scenic views of the hardwood-covered hills and a small pond that provides a consistent water source for the wildlife in the area.
Thirteen established food plots are strategically placed throughout the farm. They currently consist of multiple corn plots, clover, chicory, and annual brassica fields. There are also four Redneck tower blinds spread throughout the property that are included in the sale. The additional open areas that aren’t currently in food plots are mainly made up of well-maintained native warm-season grasses that create extra cover for wildlife. The groomed internal trail system provides access to the farm from multiple directions so that you can hunt in any wind direction. The trails also make retrieving the downed game a simple task, even in the remote areas of the farm.
The timber is diverse throughout the property, including multiple varieties of oak, cottonwoods, red cedar thickets, and marketable stands of black walnut. The timber value on the farm will provide additional income in the future for the new owner.
As a result of the intense management practices, habitat improvement, and quality food sources, the local whitetail deer and turkey populations on this property are incredible. Multiple top-end mature whitetails have been harvested over the years, and it continue to have the potential to produce the world-class whitetails that Southern Iowa is known for.
Another appealing feature is the beautiful 2,848 square foot home and 40’ x 60’ machine shed. The spacious upstairs and finished basement have the comforts and amenities for the new owner to live, raise a family, use as a hunting retreat/cabin, or simply a place to get away from everyday life. The home has been well taken care of and is move-in ready for the next owner. With multiple bedrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, a living room, a finished walk-out basement, a laundry room, and a car garage, it has everything one could need to enjoy rural living. The giant machine shed has two large overhead doors for plenty of space to park tractors, skid-steers, campers, and any general equipment needed to manage the farm.
If you are looking for a highly managed hunting farm with a modern home and storage space for all your toys and have always dreamed about living on your land and acreage with incredible Loess Hills views, look no further than this serene recreational property in Thurman, IA.
