Turnkey Hunting Property With Income Near Geode State Park
268th Avenue, Lot#WP001 West Point, IA 52656
Description
This farm gem has an amazing structure, and it's dialed in to hunt for this hunting season! Serious whitetail hunters will agree that an aerial layout doesn't get much more attractive than this one. Look at the miles of edge, field bays, and pinch points!
Located in a desirable area between Lowell and South Augusta, the farm is less than a mile from the no-hunting Geode State Park and Skunk River. This is a rugged country, with large areas of timber and farmland between gravel roads. Undoubtedly, it will be terrific for archery and gun hunting, and there are four green food plots strategically established to hunt each property area.
You’ll appreciate this farm's size; we logged over six miles while driving around to photograph the listing! Thanks to the interior trail network in certain parts of the timber and the field edges, you’ve got plenty of options to get around.
Approximately 50 acres of flat tillable land provided $8,750 in cash rent in 2022. Over 80% of the farmland is between 59 and 71 CSR2 - excellent for a property that hunts so well! The landowner works with the farming tenant to leave standing beans for late-season hunting.
Two brand new, large Redneck blinds anchored over lush clover plots are tucked into secluded bays where there will be an obvious movement to and from the bedding areas. Their soil has been amended to maximize plant health. The timber is thick, and several areas of early successional habitat also make the best whitetail bedding!
A gated entrance at the north end is a convenient area to park without disturbing wildlife. Access from the north, west, and south is critical for accessing and hunting the property in different wind directions. Another key feature is that there is very little visibility from the road due to the thick edge of the cedars line most of the perimeter.
Discerning landowners looking for a dynamic hunting property that they can actively manage for quality whitetails will surely appreciate an opportunity to own this farm. This one is perfect for building a home or cabin, with utilities available and several potential building sites.
