This 98 acre Monroe County, Iowa tract is a premier hunting and recreational property located just southwest of Albia in a proven, low-pressure sleeper neighborhood with a long-standing reputation for producing top-end trophy whitetails.
The farm is nearly all timber and serves as a key travel corridor connecting thousands of acres of surrounding habitat including hardwood timber, pasture, and crop ground. A seasonal creek/ditch combined with rugged terrain features runs through the heart of the property, creating a natural funnel that concentrates wildlife movement for milesmaking this farm hunt exceptionally well, especially during the rut. This tract not only captures movement from surrounding farms in all directions, but also acts as a primary bedding area for deer that live on and around the property. It functions as a central pinch point and transition zone for adjoining properties and nearby cover, naturally pulling deer through the farm while holding a resident population that calls this property home. With south access, hunters can effectively set up for a wide range of wind directions and seasonal patterns, and a small established food plot just behind the cabin provides a reliable food source and ideal setup for early and late season opportunities.
The area is tightly held by a handful of large landowners, resulting in limited hunting pressure and a strong age structure. The current owners have developed and managed the property over the past 15 years, primarily focusing on recreational hunting and maintaining a balanced doe population, while selectively harvesting mature bucks when the opportunity presented itselfallowing the areas natural age structure to develop and consistently produce quality deer. This neighborhood consistently produces high-caliber whitetails year after year.
