Located in northeast Wayne County, Iowa lies this incredible 232 +/- acre hunting and recreational retreat. Years of hard work, dedication, attention to detail, and pride of ownership have gone into this property to create a top notch hunting farm with proven results. The property is a fantastic mix of habitat, including 83.69 FSA/effective farmland acres, 125 +/- acres of beautiful hardwoods, and 20 +/- acres of brush cover and bedding. A tremendous amount of crop, hardwood, and cedar edge cover has been established to capitalize on deer movement and secluded food plot locations have been developed over the years to help feed and hold big deer. The southern 80 acres of timber have been improved with numerous trails throughout and some selective timber stand improvement has been done to enhance its structural diversity. High ridges, gradual ravines, cedar stands, sanctuary locations, and a seasonal creek also add to the complexity of this diverse landscape. Three beautiful ponds, including one that is two acres in size, offer year-round water sources for wildlife and additional recreational activities.

The amount of deer sign and actual deer numbers witnessed touring the farm was incredible. Beaten down trails, scrape lines, and rubs are scattered everywhere on the property. Numerous mature bucks in that 4+ year old range, multiple younger bucks, and several does were all seen throughout the farm tour, suggesting a healthy and thriving heard. The trail camera and harvest pictures also show and support the QDM practices that the current owners have implemented over the years. Wild turkey also thrive on the farm and were seen in multiple groups. The property also has a 948 square foot farmhouse with a gated drive and is the perfect place to relax after a hard day's work planting plots or to unwind with family and friends after a long days hunt. The newer, 30'x48' steel utility building with 14'x16' electric overhead door and concrete floors is the perfect place to store all of your equipment and toys. If you have been searching for a great Iowa farm with opportunities to hunt trophy caliber whitetails that southern Iowa is known for, this is it! The property is shown by appointment only.
