Description

Whitetail Properties Real Estate is pleased to present an exceptional opportunity to purchase a premier Southwest Iowa Loess Hills combination farm. Properties of this diversity and quality seldom reach the open market—and when they do, they do not last long.

The farm is visually striking with a balance of productive tillable acres, partially open hillsides with early successional growth, and stands of mature hardwood timber. There are 44.53 FSA tillable acres, including 35.87 acres currently in corn/soybean rotation and nearly 3 acres in alfalfa and clover food plots. The remaining tillable acres are idle but could be returned to production to further increase the farm income.

With a weighted average CSR2 of 73.5, this farm has excellent soils. Terracing has been implemented to minimize erosion, and yields have consistently reached 220–240 bushels of corn per acre in recent seasons. In addition to cropland, natural openings across the farm present ideal sites for additional strategic food plots.

The timber is composed of a rich mix of oak, black walnut, hickory, cottonwood, and red cedar. Marketable black walnut trees could provide future revenue through harvest. A hunting lease is another viable possibility, adding financial upside to the property’s recreational value.

This farm is a dream destination for serious hunters. Known for its trophy whitetail history, the property combines outstanding habitat features: edge cover, warm-season grasses, established food plots, early successional growth, a secluded pond, mature timber, and dramatic terrain changes. Located in Iowa’s coveted Zone 3, non-residents will appreciate the best odds of drawing tags in the state. In previous years, non-residents have been awarded gun tags every year, with archery tags being drawn every other year! Wild turkey thrive here as well, with some of the best turkey hunting that you can find anywhere in the country.

The property offers outstanding accessibility. Paved road frontage from Bluff Road is available on the southwest corner, while additional access is provided from 286th Street, a maintained gravel road running along the west and north boundaries. Three gated entrances allow entry from the northeast, northwest, and southwest. An access road along the southern boundary ties into an internal trail system, opening nearly endless options for farm use, recreation, and hunting access.

The internal trail network and diverse landscape provide avenues for ATV/UTV riding, horseback riding, camping, hiking, and year-round outdoor enjoyment. Utilities, including water and electricity, are already available on the north end of the property, making it an attractive potential cabin, shop, or home site. The rolling Loess Hills topography ensures privacy, with much of the farm hidden from the road. A small cabin on the southwest corner offers a ready-made retreat.

If you’ve dreamed of owning a Southern Iowa farm with a rare blend of income, recreation, and hunting potential, this property offers it all. Contact the listing agents today to schedule a private showing. Showings are by appointment only.
