This 212 acre Premier Whitetail Hunting Property is located just a short drive from the Des Moines area in Decatur County Iowa\. It is ideally situated among several thousand acres of Whitetail Managed land in one of the top neighborhoods for growing mature bucks\. With roads on the North and West borders,the access is phenomenal on this farm, yet the terrain and cover keep the majority of it out of sight.A quick look at the aerial map reveals the hundreds of acres of diverse timber on and around this farm\. It is plain to see that the property serves as a main staging area for deer as they travel to and from the bottom ag fields\. At times, the owner has counted well over 100 deer traveling between the bottom fields and this farm\. The 10 acres of established food plots have a significant drawing power to bring the deer out of the thick cover, and the limited human intrusion ensures the deer are on their feet during daylight hours all throughout the season\. To further enhance the drawing power of this farm, approximately 80 acres will be converted to row crop for 2015\. The Tillable acres have a CSR2 rating of 52, and the income from custom farming should be around $20,000-$30,000 depending on the crop year. These acres could be left idle as additional bedding cover if the buyer desires, or the current owner has agreed to rent the farming rights for $200 per acre in the 2015 crop year\. Approximately 130 acres of mixed growth timber, thick cedars , brushy draws, and tall grasses make up the rest of this farm\. The amount of diversity provides ample browse, cover, and bedding for the high number of deer that live on this property\. Atop the highest ridge on the farm, sits a small cabin, where the gorgeous views stretch for miles over the bottom ag fields, and rolling hillsides\. To the East, you can overlook the beautiful stocked ponds on the property, and can even glass the large green source food plots down below\. Electric has been run to the cabin and water is available along the road toward the south end of the farm if you desire to further enhance the function.A well maintained trail system leads from the West access, up to the cabin, and to several points throughout the farm.A large investment was made in 2014 to further improve the roads and field crossings\. This is a top notch hunting farm with good income, in the heart of the best big buck hunting in Iowa\. Farms of this caliber do not come on the market often as typically they are purchased by neighboring landowners before they even become available\.
