Description:

This is a unique opportunity to anyone that has been wanting to get into a larger recreational property.  The current owner has spared no expense to develop this property into something that you will benefit from for years to come.  The owner has employed 3 different consultants to lend their knowledge on timber management, habitat management, and food plot architecture.       

The list of improvements on the property are long, but you will have your opportunity to continue to add your improvements.  As you pull onto the property, one of the first things you see are quality gates.  The next improvement you will notice is there is ample stretches of new fencing, graded trail system, and visual screens that include Miscanthus, Big Blue Stem, and Indian Grass.  It is impossible not to notice the care put into the food plots.  Perennial plots of clover, fall annual plots of peas, oats, and brassicas are tucked into key areas.  A destination corn plot is in the center off all of this to keep the wildlife all year round.  Box blinds in the key areas will be yours in the sale, making the property ready to hunt for this fall. 

The CRP portion of the property is in fantastic shape.  The mix of native plants is something that will benefit the wildlife for years to come.  The timber on the property is starting to mature on some of the property, with a strong amount of walnut.  According to the consultant, there should be a very nice sale in the next 10 years.  The pond on the property has been reshaped and a soon to be addition of an aerator wind mill.  Additionally, the pond dam will have a makeover this August, to ensure fishing for years to come! The rest of the property was logged within the last couple of years, making ample bedding and nesting cover.  The main draw through the property is amazing, it has a natural spring, rock outcropping and a diverse mix of native hardwoods.  All of this timber leads out to the destination food plots as well as supplying ample roosting for turkeys.  It is a very beautiful property, with 2 existing points of access, and a third should be able to be put in on the far east fence line.

The CRP contracts on the farm are as follows:  The first contract is 23.2 acres, paying 5566.00$ annually, and expires in 2026.  The second is 1.8 acres, paying 419$ annually, and expires in 2025.  The third is 12.74 acres, paying 2192$ annually, expiring in 2026.  Please contact me for further information on these contracts!

The west parcel of almost 92 acres is in the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation easement.  The remaining part of the property is not.  A new boundary fence is in place with a trail along it so you can almost circle the property from the east and south. Once you get on this property, you will definitely see the care in which the owner has given it. It is truly a beautiful property!   Please call for a showing at 319-551-2410
