Dont let the aerial make you think there isnt enough timber for there to be deer here. I put a couple of my trail cameras out in the first week of May and had daylight pictures of deer that very same evening. See photos and video clips of multiple bucks accompanying this listing. Though the property is already a good set-up for pasture and hay, this property is a blank slate for potential habitat improvement projects for deer hunting. There is already very thick cover along the timbered draws, but there are acres and acres of pasture that could be used for tree plantings and native warm season grass plantings to massively increase the deer holding power of the property, not to mention there are multiple great locations for food plots and/or standing corn/beans, hidden away out of sight of any roads. The new owner will have full hunting rights for the 2024 hunting season.

There is a pasture/hay lease in place for the 2024 farm season with a local cattle rancher, which includes the use of the corrals and several farm related structures by the Farmhouse. Only permanent buildings and equipment will stay with the property.The 2024 pasture lease provides $6,000 of income and the new owner of the property will be pro-rated at closing an amount equal to $21.89 per day from sale closing day through November 30, 2024. There is existing barb-wire fencing on south/west/east property boundaries and some interior fencing, though no fencing as of right now on the north boundary, as this property was once part of a larger property that included the property on the north side. The new owner will take physical possession at closing and full legal possession upon expiration of farm tenant rights on the last day of February, 2025, per Iowa farm lease law.

The 1,152 sq ft Farmhouse was originally built in 1915, was added onto once in 1987 and again in 2005, and is situated in a protected little valley on the east side of the property. It has 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms. It is not a fancy home, but it is perfectly serviceable for living in. Appliances staying with the home are Refrigerator, Dishwasher & Microwave. The Farmhouse is being offered for sale *As-Is*. The owner of this property for sale would consider splitting off the house/buildings and a small acreage on the east side of the property from the larger property for sale if the right offer presented. Additionally, there are cattle corrals, a small open-sided barn, covered feeding station shed, milking shed building (used for storage), and an older pole barn with dirt floor. There is also a pond on the northeast side of the property that is shared with the family member neighbor to the north. If the new property owner wanted to build a modern home, there are some potential building sites on the south side of the property (with gravel road access) that have absolutely gorgeous, expansive views of the surrounding countryside and would have great views of the sunrise and sunset.
