If you’ve been waiting on the right small tract to consistently tag a good buck each year—something simple to hunt during the rut and priced lower per acre than most listings out there—this one deserves a hard look. This would be a perfect place for aspiring landowners and first-time buyers who want a sweet little hunting property and have a modest budget.
This property sits along the Skunk River, with water access and a strip of timber that hugs the river’s edge. It forms a natural travel corridor where deer move along cover and cross at a nearby sandbar. It’s a textbook pinch and rut funnel—tight, defined, and ideal for bowhunting. The kind of spot that can give you a chance at a mature buck each November just because of how it lays.
There’s also potential for some fun waterfowl hunts with the river frontage. It’s within a short flight of Lake Darling, a known refuge for ducks and geese during the fall migration.
Lake Darling is just over a mile south and offers fishing, camping, and hiking. Brinton Timber is about a mile southeast provides hiking trails, and is a no-hunting refuge as well.
The property is easily accessible from Dogwood Avenue, which is set to be paved soon. If you're interested in this land, contact the listing agent, Ben Harshyne, with The Southeast Iowa Land Team for Whitetail Properties Real Estate!
