If you’ve been looking for a property with proven hunting located less than 35 minutes from Des Moines, this farm is a must-see. Located in Madison County, Iowa, this 92 +/- acre farm has been producing top-end whitetails for years. The harvest photos tell the story on this farm, with the owner harvesting a 225” buck during the 2009 season. The owner describes this farm as a “deer factory” during the fall months. When looking at the habitat and topography of this farm and how it lays in comparison to the neighboring properties, this makes a lot of sense.

The diversity on this farm is incredible. The hardwood timber consists of high numbers of hickory, oak, and walnut trees. Cedar thickets, native grasses, pear trees, hazelnuts, and switch grass are scattered throughout the farm, offering ample food sources, bedding habitat, and nesting cover. Established food plots, elevated blinds, and tree stands can be found throughout the farm as well. To top it off, the west end of the farm is bordered by the Middle River. The action on this portion of the river during the rut is second to none. An extensive trail system provides access to nearly all portions of the farm. The property is accessed through a 60-foot easement that allows for utilities. The property has the benefit of being located on a hard surface road but is also extremely secluded due to the easement access. East access sets up perfectly for the predominant wind in the fall as well.
Properties located less than 35 minutes from Des Moines with proven hunting and recreation do not hit the open market often. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to own your piece of paradise in Madison County! For additional information or to schedule a private showing, please contact Korey O’Day at (515) 519-5779.
