A shadow hunter blind is strategically situated overlooking the plot, and is negotiable with the purchase of the property. Other areas could easily be enhanced for additional bedding cover and food sources as well. The rolling terrain, ditches, and creek on this property create several pinch points for ideal stand locations, and the paved and gated easement on the NW border provides an alternative access route for strategic entry and exits of treestands. A new driveway has been approved by the DOT for accessing the farm directly off of Hwy 34, and two new gates are ready for installation. Construction will be underway as weather permits. Rural Water is along Hwy 34, and the estimate for installation is $3,500. 37.7 acres of the farm is in Timber Reserve, which keeps the taxes at an estimated $90 annually. This affordable South Central Iowa farm offers great recreational opportunities and a beautiful building location within 45 minutes of the Des Moines metro.
