This 140 +/- acre tract captures what serious whitetail managers look for in southern Iowa -- strong habitat diversity, dependable income, water, security cover, and location within a proven trophy-producing neighborhood.
Annual income is approximately $17,653.87, including $12,949.87 from CRP programs. The CRP tree planting completed around 10 years ago is transitioning into a meaningful oak and walnut component that enhances both habitat strength and long-term value.
Cedar thickets and native grasses provide dense bedding cover, while the rolling terrain forms natural funnels and predictable stand locations. Two established ponds and a strong year-round creek create consistent water sources and movement corridors, concentrating deer travel and strengthening rut activity patterns. The creek acts as a primary travel route through the property -- the type of feature mature bucks use to move between bedding and feeding areas with security.
November trail camera activity documented multiple mature bucks and a healthy age structure. The farm lies out well for hunting multiple wind directions and supports low-impact entry and exit strategies. For buyers seeking a farm with the habitat ingredients necessary to consistently produce older age-class whitetails, this 140 +/- acre tract stands out.
