130th Avenue , Jamaica, IA 50128(Dallas County)

If you are looking for a farm that you can manage for top-end deer that also provides solid income to offset your investment, you need to take a serious look at this farm. Located only 40 minutes northwest from the Des Moines Metro, this farm offers easy accessibility but is far enough away from the westward moving urban sprawl of the Des Moines suburbs. This farm has the prime big buck holding habitat in the area and supports a high density of deer year round. It is surrounded by 1000’s of acres of great tillable land and once the additional cover that the standing corn offers is gone, this property loads up with even more deer. The habitat consists of mature timbered ridges, cedar and brush thickets, bottom ground timber and overgrown pasture – quite possibly the perfect mix to hold mature bucks. The Greenbrier Creek meanders through the heart of the property providing additional topography changes, travel corridors and funnels. This area sees very light hunting pressure due to the lack of large timbered tracts that surround this farm. There is gravel road access on the north and south side of the property making it ideal to take advantage of the natural prevailing winds during hunting season. Even with the convenient road access, the heart of the farm is protected with very little visibility from any road. Although this farm has not been managed at all for age structure and trophy potential, it naturally holds some phenomenal mature bucks (see trail cam pics). Just imagine what this farm could produce with a solid deer management plan! There is a great balance of income producing tillable acres with just the right amount of timber/recreational acres to make this farm a highly sought after tract. If you’re in the market for a diverse hunting farm, you need to take a close look at this one. Showings by appointment only.
