Over the last eight years, the owner of this farm has taken bucks scoring 186, 193, and 195. This is a proven property that's been dialed in by a high-level deer manager, and if you've been waiting for a no-brainer opportunity in this competitive market, consider acting decisively.A few key factors set this farm apart. First, it's located in the right neighborhood. Even the best-looking farms won't produce consistently if they're surrounded by poor habitat or difficult neighbors. This one sits in a pocket where mature bucks are taken every year.Second, the layout is clean and effective, with two food plot locations that simplify your approach. It helps eliminate the scenario where you're bouncing around the farm and burning spots while trying to zero in on a specific buck. In many cases, simple is better!Third, the farm is invisible to outsiders. There's no road frontage, and the north access is hidden by a hillside. This keeps pressure low and gives a sense of seclusion that's hard to find, which personally is my favorite aspect of my own land. It's a great experience to own a place where you can vanish away.An archery stand on the south end sits in what the owner calls the best pinch point he's ever hunted. He's taken several big deer there as they cruise the drainage east to west during the rut. It's the kind of setup where spending a solid week in November gives you a real chance at a mature buck. And if you continue to set up the farm for late season like the seller has, you'll have lights-out cold-weather hunts.The north end offers a great spot for a cabin, with driveway access and a beautiful view to the south. Just to the west, there's a stocked pond that you would own as well.This is a well-rounded hunting property with a documented history of producing big deer. The area also holds a strong turkey population, making spring hunts another reason to be here. Smaller, high-quality hunting farms that are priced right normally go fastif this one has your attention, it's smart to make a move!If you're interested, contact listing agent Ben Harshyne with the Southeast Iowa Land Team at Whitetail Properties Real Estate.
