Farms like this rarely see the open market! Situated in a well known, highly managed area of northwest Decatur County sits this phenomenal 225 +/- acre whitetail hunting mecca. Over 15 years of hard work, strict management, dedication, and discipline have painstakingly gone into this farm to create one of the best whitetail farms southern Iowa has to offer. One look at the aerial and you'll know you are looking at a serious hunting property. A beautiful open mix of hardwoods, including red oak, white oak, and hickory, make up the majority of the 125 +/- acres of timber. The 94 acres currently enrolled in CRP are a beautiful mix of native grasses, forbs, and shrub cover, creating an enhanced wildlife habitat while earning a return. Approximately 8 acres of corn and beans have been rotated and left standing year-round for food and holding power during the late winter months. Three box blinds have been strategically placed over the food plots and will come with the property as well. Almost a mile travel corridor of Short Creek cuts through the property and two well established rock crossings have been implemented, allowing equipment access to all areas of the farm. A nice 1/2-acre stocked pond also provides an additional water source for wildlife and fishing opportunities. The deer sign on the property is truly unreal and the trail cam and harvest pics speak for themselves. Massive rubs, trails that resemble cattle paths, and bedding areas are clearly visible throughout the farm. The amount of traffic in the food plots is impressive and the owner has said that seeing 30-40 deer while on stand is not uncommon. The property also has a nice steel building for your storage needs and a comfortable, wired, one-room shanty complete with a PTAC unit that can be run off of a generator. This is truly a second to none proven turn-key southern Iowa hunting farm that has it all. Call me today to set up a private showing of this phenomenal farm!
