Quality combination farms of this size in the Loess Hills don’t hit the market often, and this property checks all the boxes! The farm has crop income and pasture rent, and it’s located in an incredible neighborhood that is well-known for producing the quality whitetails that Southern Iowa is known for!As you approach the property on 185th Street, a well-maintained gravel road, 49.66 acres are located on the north side of the road, and 27.46 acres are located on the south side. This gives several different access points into both sides of the property for farming, livestock loading, hunting in different wind directions, or any additional recreational use.The north side of the road has 35.49 acres of fenced-in pastureland. The tenant currently rents the pasture for his cattle operation and has his current lease throughout 2024. Near the road, there is a well currently used for watering the cattle, but that well could be converted solely to benefit the wildlife or support the future construction of a cabin or shop. These pasture acres could continue to be utilized as pastureland, or several locations would make for ideal food plot locations. The additional 14.17 acres on the North side of the road are made up of both mature Loess Hills timber and mixed cedar and early successional growth. The mature oak trees and habitat in the Northwest corner are filled with plenty of deer and wildlife signs. This portion of the property provides picturesque Loess Hills timber views. A hillside of mixed cedar is South of the corner of mature timber, and early successional growth stretches back to the road. This combination provides an incredible travel corridor and summer and thermal cover for all types of wildlife to feel safe and utilize throughout different times of the year.On the South side of 185th Street, five different crop fields are currently in alfalfa hay production. These 12.49 acres in alfalfa boast an average CSR2 of 79.6. Well above the county average. The current alfalfa fields provide additional benefits to the local wildlife or could be put into crop production or wildlife food plots. An established road and trail system through this side of the property allows access to farm equipment to all the crop fields. The small meandering creek and cover provide incredible wildlife habitat, water sources, and lots of edge that whitetails love. There are many different pinch points and potential treestand and blind locations. This property sits in an area well-known for its healthy turkey population and quality whitetails. Small game, predator hunting, and trapping are all additional activities that could be enjoyed on the farm.If you have ever dreamt of building and living on your slice of heaven, multiple places could be built to enjoy the true Loess Hills beauty and scenic landscape right out your back door. ATV/UTV riding, horseback riding, hiking, or just having your private getaway are all benefits of this property. Properties of this size and diversity don’t last long! Call Land Specialist Kyle Karcher or Garret Armstrong to schedule your private showing! Showings by appointment only.
