Property Description

This remarkable 287 +/- acre hunting and recreational farm offers the rare opportunity to own a large, contiguous tract in one of southern Iowa’s most sought-after hunting regions. Known for its rich agricultural landscape, diverse habitat, and exceptional whitetail genetics, the Centerville area has long been recognized as a destination for serious deer hunters seeking mature bucks and quality hunting experiences.

The farm features a large, centrally located block of timber, secluded draws, natural travel corridors, bedding cover, and food-plot opportunities that combine to create outstanding wildlife habitat. Approximately 125 open acres consist of alfalfa, a premium grass/clover hay mix, and food plots. The hay ground is currently leased until March 1, 2027, and there is potential to convert to row crop if desired. Thoughtful access throughout the property allows hunters to approach stand locations with minimal disturbance, while the farm’s size and layout provide the flexibility to manage and hunt multiple areas throughout the season. Whether pursuing trophy whitetails during the rut or calling gobblers on a spring morning, this property offers year-round recreational enjoyment. Ten Redneck hunting blinds go with the sale of this property.

Conveniently located within minutes of Centerville’s amenities, restaurants, lodging, and services, the farm offers both privacy and accessibility. Nearby attractions such as Rathbun Lake and nearby public lands further enhance the recreational appeal of the area, making this property an ideal basecamp for outdoor enthusiasts and families alike.

Beyond its hunting and recreational value, multiple build sites along the road provide an opportunity to easily set up living quarters or that hunting lodge you've always dreamed of, with almost no disturbance to your hunting acres. Large-acreage recreational properties near Centerville seldom come available, and the combination of quality habitat, strong wildlife populations, and location creates an opportunity that is increasingly difficult to find. Whether your vision is a premier hunting retreat, family legacy property, or investment-grade land holding, this exceptional 287 +/- acre farm is ready for its next steward.
