Property Description

Located less than 50 miles from Des Moines, this property offers a rare combination of strong income, high-quality wildlife habitat, & excellent recreational features. With almost $30,000 annually in CRP income, a proven track record for giant whitetails, & an 8-acre lake, this farm checks every box. Don't let the absence of big timber fool you - this is a true big buck sanctuary. In the 2024 season, 2 bucks scoring in the mid-180s & near 200 were captured on trail camera here & later harvested by neighbors. Photos & official scores are available. The farm includes 4 acres of electric-fenced food plots, designed to provide dependable late-season hunting opportunities. CRP cover consists of tall warm-season grasses including Big Bluestem, Indian Grass, & Switchgrass - excellent bedding habitat for deer & strong upland bird potential for pheasant & quail hunters. At the heart of the property is a clear, 8-acre lake over 20 feet deep, stocked with largemouth bass, bluegill, & catfish. Additional improvements include new fencing along more than half of the property's boundary, including the road frontage. In the 2024 & 2025 spring seasons, the owner planted over 1,200 trees to establish future thermal cover & wildlife habitat. All CRP maintenance work has been completed under the current contract. While this property offers world-class hunting opportunities & investment potential, the seller is motivated due to a current lack of access to a non-resident deer license.
