Located in the hills along the Des Moines River, this 78-acre hunting property is ideal for serious whitetail hunters who want to be in a proven deer management area. With 72 acres of hardwood timber, 6 acres of tillable, and a well-documented history of mature bucks, this land offers exceptional deer hunting—please check out the impressive trail camera history! The landscape features south-facing hillsides, hardwood ridges, secluded timber plots, fertile bottomland tillable, and a good building site.
A nice trail system gives access from the north line and connects to the bottom crop field. This is ideal for managing the plots and stealth hunting access, and it encourages the deer to use the trail in a predictable route. Timber trails are underrated! Two hidden clover plots are tucked deep within the forest, perfect for daytime deer activity. This property is a big bedding area! Not many this size can say the same.
A redneck tower blind is positioned on the edge of the crop field, offering a chip shot for deer that enter the field’s inside corner. Timber stand improvement efforts in the past have enhanced acorn-producing mature oaks, providing habitat and potential future income.
This property benefits from managing neighboring properties with a focus on mature bucks. With multiple access points and a potential building site in the northwest corner, it's a potent sub-80 acre offering. Water and electricity are available near the landing pad to park your vehicle or camper.
Land along the major rivers is the most desirable area for wildlife. With the combination of habitat, terrain, and quality deer management, this farm offers a unique opportunity to own a property that has proven successful in producing high-scoring bucks. Whether you’re looking for a premier hunting property or a long-term investment, this tract stands out from others because of the quality landscape and proven history in a managed neighborhood. Trailcamera photos are from these 78 acres and the 208-parent farm that it used to be part of.
