This beautiful 225 +/- acre property sits in one of the most desired counties in Iowa for hunting trophy caliber whitetails. Situated just a few miles north of Grand River, this property is in a well-known and highly managed area of northwest Decatur County. Over 15 years of hard work, strict QDM practices, and discipline have gone into this property, creating one of the best hunting farms on the market today. One look at the aerial of the property and you can tell it has everything you want in a killer hunting farm. The timber is a beautiful mix of mast producing hardwoods, including red oaks, white oaks, and hickory. Some timber stand improvement has been done, opening the canopy and rejuvenating ground cover and browse. Miles of edge throughout the farm create unlimited stand sites and an opportunity to hunt any wind condition. Scrapes litter the edges of the timber and there are too many rubs and trails to count. The center of the farm acts as the central staging area and main food supply. Two 3-acre food plots of corn and beans have been planted and rotated yearly, and an additional 2 acres of brassicas and clovers are typically planted for maximum holding power during those late winter months. Thick stands of cedars in the north central portion of the farm have been left to grow over the years, creating a bedding sanctuary adjacent to the food.
84 acres are enrolled in CRP and are a beautiful mix of forbs, shrubs, and ornamental grasses, including switchgrass, big bluestem, little bluestem, and Indian grass. The CRP acres are an essential component to the overall dynamics of the property and create spring and summer fawning cover, year-round bedding cover, additional food sources, quality edge habitat, and habitat destruction prevention. Almost a mile of Short Creek cuts through the property, acting as a natural travel corridor that has a well-established rock crossing that allows equipment access to almost every area of the farm. This farm sets up exceptionally well for both bowhunting and gun hunting and there are 3 tower blinds included. The natural topography allows for exceptional views and also a concealment of a majority of the farm from the road. A 0.25-acre pond offers fishing opportunities and an additional water source for the wildlife. The deer sign on the property is truly unreal and the trail camera and harvest pictures speak for themselves. There is a nice steel utility building for all of your storage needs and a one room camp shelter with PTAC unit. If you have been looking for a top notch hunting farm in a world class neighborhood that has everything needed to kill big mature deer, this is it!
