Premier Hunting Property With Big Timber, Tillable, Build Sites, and Ideal

This 285 +/- acre Clarke County, Iowa property has everything a serious whitetail hunter is looking for. Not only does this farm have the cover and layout to attract big deer, it has the right ingredients to hold and grow them as well. Located in an area known for producing world-class whitetails, this farm is surrounded by big timber and large tracts. Access to the property is ideal, with road frontages on the south and east sides. The beautiful hardwood timber is tucked away on the north and northwest portion of the property and cannot be seen well from the roads, checking all the boxes from an access and layout standpoint.

The farm consists of approximately 110 acres of hardwood timber with hickory, red and white oaks, and walnuts. The 100 +/- tillable acres, rented for $165 per acre for 2021, provide income in addition to the phenomenal hunting. The cash rental rate on the tillable acres could likely be increased beyond 2021 with current commodity prices and market conditions. The beautiful ridge tops, tillable acres, rolling terrain, year-round creek, and two ponds provide excellent and diverse habitat. The property offers a signi?cant amount of edge cover, along with waterway ?ngers, allowing for numerous stand and food plot locations.

The amount of deer sign on this farm is incredible. From beaten down trails to giant rubs and scrapes, this property has it all. While touring the farm, I picked up 25 shed antlers in a relatively short period of time. Turkey sign was also abundant and large groups were spotted throughout the property. As if the habitat, access, layout, and hunting potential weren’t enough, this farm also offers ideal build sites for that weekend getaway or forever home. Rural water and electricity are available at the road and the south or east sides of the property offer perfect build locations. Three grain bins on the south end of the property will also be included in the sale.

Just by looking at the aerial map and surrounding properties, it’s easy to see why this is one of the best farms I have been on in southern Iowa. If you are in the market for a premier hunting property within an hour of Des Moines, this one is a must see! Call Korey O’Day today to schedule your private showing.
