*Additional 40 acres just added to this listing!*
Just South of Thurman, Iowa tucked back into the picturesque hollows of the Loess hills is this well managed 134 +/- acre rustic hunting retreat that could be your weekend dream getaway!
The property boasts a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom lodge with a large garage and hunters area outfitted with wood lockers for friends & family to store their gear. The property has been managed for the last 6 years to promote better whitetail deer & eastern turkey hunting. Thanks to the natural springs that are percolating out of the Loess hills, as well as the horse creek which dissects this property at the entrance, the property has year-round open water sources.

A maintained gravel drive leads you back through the picturesque landscape and the corn and bean fields planted for the wildlife before delivering you to the hunting lodge. Originally this 1200 sq. ft. lodge was just enough for a weekend getaway until the owners added another 2600 sq. ft. pole barn style lodge with spray foam insulation, central heat and A/C allowing them to host more friends and family at one time. Not to mention the 16 x 30 ft. above ground pool with salt water filtration system & solar blanket heating!
This property also has an approximately 1 acre high fence enclosure for raising animals such as deer, elk, goats, etc. A continuous freeze proof watering system and electric access are a part of the enclosure as well. This fenced in area would make a great garden area/nursery for those looking to protect seedlings, vegetables, fruit trees, etc. from the abundant wildlife. The enclosure has electric and water stub ups already. Currently there are approximately 52 income producing acres, as well as 10 food plot acres planted for the wildlife on the main property and 12 income producing acres, as well as 2 food plot acres on the additional 40 acres across the road.
The Missouri river valley views from the top of the additional 40 acres make it a perfect location to build a permanent residence, with hunting right out your door, as well as having the other guest quarters across the road for when friends & family come to visit. The local deer herd frequent both properties during their daily travels as seen on the trail camera photos.
Multiple trophy animals have been taken from both properties as well as the surrounding areas and the abundant sign of wildlife is present everywhere throughout. The properties have had very little hunting pressure on them over the last 2 years in order to help build the age structure of the current deer herd. 2 spring fed ponds make this property a one stop shop for the avid outdoorsman.
Just 30 minutes South of Council Bluffs, and 20 minutes East of Nebraska City allows going to the store to stock up on hunting supplies and staples for the family an easy trip.
