Hunting Farm on the Skunk River Near Mount Pleasant

This majestic farm in Henry County, Iowa stands on the east bank of the Skunk River, just a few miles northwest of Mount Pleasant. Its a beauty, and has the fundamentals of what a strong recreational property should be—varying terrain, secluded cover, access options, and diversity.

Nearly a half mile of Skunk River frontage anchors the farm, with bottomland transitioning into rolling ridges, hidden fields, and terrain pinch points that naturally concentrate movement. The layout creates multiple controlled access routes and stand locations, whether you’re hunting early-season archery or setting up for late-season muzzleloader. There’s a strong mix of habitat here—thick cover, edge, and hardwood timber with quality walnut and white oak scattered throughout.

Income is already in place with $17,286 annually from a mix of CRP and row crop, supported by a 69.9 CSR2 soil rating that has additional upside if a buyer wants to convert some of the fertile acres out of the new CRP contract. On the north end, there are multiple building site options with utilities available, along with two barns. A stocked pond adds a nice bonus as well.

The farm sits a short drive from Mount Pleasant, offering a combination of seclusion and convenience that’s hard to match. The buyer of this farm was represented by Ben Harshyne, Broker Associate for Whitetail Properties Real Estate and The Southeast Iowa Land Team.
