PRICE REDUCED!! Among the rolling hills of Southeast Iowa—tucked away at the end of a dead-end road—sits a turn-key recreational property buried in eight square miles of wildlife habitat. As you reach the end of the county road and enter the driveway, you’re greeted by a cozy, well-built 2 bed/1 bath house (with an upstairs loft to sleep more) that can be a permanent residence or a practical weekend getaway. With the view from the large wood deck, you can glass several secluded fields and see nearly half of the farm. Just east from the house—at the end of a fruit tree orchard—is a stocked pond with bass, panfish, and catfish. The current owner has implemented a strict Quality Deer Management strategy of passing bucks four-years-old and younger; shooting an adequate amount of does, and planting plenty of food for year-long herd nutrition. Several hunting seasons on this property have been featured on the Midwest Whitetail webshow. Looking at the trail cam photos, you can see the amount of great bucks that have or currently call this home, and multiple 160’s were passed in the 2017 season. Fifty eight acres of tillable are cut up into four secluded fields, providing a nice return for cash-rent or custom farming income. Cover is abundant, with over 200 acres of very thick timber that is primarily regenerated hardwoods and large cedar thickets. Much of this cover is in the middle of the farm where timber stand improvement has been implemented, helping to hold deer on the property. A perfect combination of ridges, drainages, and creeks provide a variety of terrain and stand sites for all wind directions. The well-maintained internal trail network allows convenient access to all corners of this top-end recreational opportunity. Call the listing agents today for a private showing.
