600th Street, Lot#WP001 , Exline, IA 52555(Appanoose County)

This beautiful property is growing and holding some incredible bucks! Check out the trail cam pics! It is also currently producing approximately $30,000 of annual income (see income breakdown below). I don’t know of another property that has so many acres of thick cover, much of which is in the riparian buffer tree CRP program and is income-producing. This CRP is a mixture of cedars, pines, and hardwoods and is some of the best thermal cover you’ll ever find. The late-season holding capacity of the cover on this property is second to none. A large majority of this cover is located right in the center of the farm, so keeping deer within the boundaries during shotgun and late season will be possible with strategically located food plots. This is a big deal when it comes to getting bucks to older age classes. In addition to the incredible holding capacity of the property, a big bonus is that approximately 295 acres of the property is income producing. There is great access throughout the property. The owners have built roads throughout the farm for access to key hunting areas, and have cleared and planted numerous food plots along the road system. On the north end of the farm there is a very nice 30 x 60 building built in 2012 that has recently been completely built out with living quarters, two full bedrooms, a kids bedroom in the loft area, one full bath, laundry/mudroom and an open floor plan with kitchen/dining and living area with 14 ft sidewalls. Everything is brand new; this lodge/home is very nice and would make a great permanent residence or hunting lodge. There is nothing like watching your property out your back window with a spotting scope! If you’re looking for a large manageable hunting and income-producing property that’s got the potential to grow and hold giant bucks and has a great place to stay or live full time, you need to check this farm out.
