Midwest Land Group is proud to present this exceptional 168 +/- acre recreational farm in Davis County, Iowa. Boasting approximately 1.25 miles of South Wyaconda River frontage, productive row crop acres, established clover food plots, numerous fruit trees, mature hardwood timber, and diverse rolling topography, this property offers an exceptional combination of river frontage, diverse habitat, income potential, and thoughtfully developed hunting improvements rarely found in a single property.
The South Wyaconda River serves as the backbone of the property, winding for approximately 1.25 miles through the farm and creating an incredible wildlife corridor that is pounded with deer sign. Towering hardwood timber, secluded draws, creek bottoms, and rolling ridges combine to create exceptional bedding cover, natural pinch points, and predictable travel routes that mature bucks utilize throughout the season. Extensive, well-worn deer trails throughout the property are a testament to the quality of the habitat. In addition, there are two ponds on the property stocked with crappie, bluegill, and bass for family fun fishing opportunities.
Years of trail-camera data have documented an impressive age structure, with numerous mature bucks photographed across multiple seasons. The combination of outstanding habitat, diverse food sources, dependable water, and relatively light hunting pressure has helped create a property capable of consistently producing mature whitetails year after year. Recent trail camera photos confirm that several impressive deer are actively utilizing the farm this summer. With opening day just around the corner, the next owner will have the rare opportunity to step into a property with an established history of mature deer and hunt it this fall.
Approximately 48 acres are currently in row crop production, carrying a 56.6 average CSR2 and benefiting from recently installed pattern tile, creating productive farmland that also serves as an outstanding food source for wildlife. Several established clover food plots are already in place, while numerous additional locations throughout the property offer excellent opportunities to expand the food plot program. Numerous fruit trees and two ponds provide dependable year-round food and water sources that help attract and hold both deer and turkey. A qualified local operator has expressed interest in leasing the tillable acreage for $250 per acre, allowing investors to generate immediate income while preserving the flexibility for owner-operators to farm the acreage themselves.
The farm has been thoughtfully developed and intensively managed to maximize both wildlife habitat and the hunting experience. Clean, strategic access allows hunters to quietly slip into and out of stand locations with minimal disturbance to bedding areas, making the property highly huntable throughout the season. The property is being offered with eight Redneck blinds mounted on 10-foot tower platforms, several 21-foot Lock-On ladder stands, and a Redneck 750lb gravity feeder, giving the next owner a tremendous head start before opening day. Few recreational properties come to market already equipped with this level of hunting infrastructure.
Beyond its outstanding hunting opportunities, the South Wyaconda River frontage, mature timber, and scenic landscape provide endless opportunities for camping, hiking, wildlife watching, and enjoying the beauty of southern Iowa.
Access to the property may be conveyed by deeded access or a recorded access easement, depending on buyer/seller preference and final survey.
From quiet morning sits overlooking the South Wyaconda River to late-season hunts over standing grain and established food plots, this farm has been developed to provide exceptional hunting opportunities from opening day through the close of the season.
Properties offering 1.25 miles of South Wyaconda River frontage, income-producing tillable acreage, proven wildlife habitat, and extensive hunting improvements rarely become available. Developed over many years with careful habitat management and significant investment, this is a rare opportunity to own one of southeast Iowa's premier recreational farms.
