218 Acre Southern Iowa Whitetail Paradise

If you’ve been searching for a turn-key hunting property in southern Iowa, you’ll want to take a close look at this farm! Consisting of 218 +/- acres of highly managed ground in Wapello County, Iowa, this farm has everything a serious whitetail hunter could dream of. Building a hunting farm of this caliber is a process that takes years of work and the current owner has spent countless amounts of time, money, and resources to create this whitetail hunting paradise.

The diversity on this farm is incredible. With roughly 170 acres of timber, 19.41 acres of CRP, 20+ acres of food plots, 2 ponds, and 2 creeks, this property has all the ingredients necessary to grow and hold big bucks. The timber consists of high numbers of oak trees and numerous areas where TSI has been performed, creating incredible bedding habitat throughout. The 20+ acres of food plots consist of grain, clover, and brassicas, providing ample food sources throughout the year. The owner also planted numerous apple and chestnut trees that will be phenomenal food sources in the coming years. The 2 creeks join in the middle of the property, creating a major travel corridor between large blocks of timber. An extensive trail system provides access to nearly all portions of the farm. The property is very secluded with little road frontage and has the added bonus of multiple access points (from the east and west).

10 elevated box blinds that have been strategically placed are included in the sale of the property. These aren’t ordinary box blinds and have been built to last. Many of the blinds are sitting on 15’ high towers and can comfortably hunt 3-4 people. The established CRP provides phenomenal bedding as well as $3,264 of annual income, which expires on 9/30/2027. If this wasn’t enough, the proven deer history on this farm is incredible. When flipping through the years of trail camera pictures, it’s evident this farm is a consistent producer of big bucks. The turkey hunting on this property is phenomenal as well. The big timber, ridge tops, creek bottoms, and open fields provide everything a serious turkey hunter could want.

With power, water, and gorgeous views, the property also sets up perfectly for those wanting to build. The southeast corner of the property offers an ideal spot to build and is located at the end of a dead end road. Properties like these truly do not hit the open market often. The years of work put into this farm are evident once you step foot on it. In order to appreciate everything this farm has to offer, you need to see it for yourself.
