Property Description

Stunning 40+/- acre hunting farm in Decatur County, Iowa. This prime piece of land is located approximately 1 hour south of West Des Moines, just 4 miles east of Lamoni, and ¾ mile off a blacktop road. Nestled in the renowned Decatur County, famous for its exceptional deer genetics and world-class hunting opportunities, this farm offers a perfect blend of privacy and accessibility, making it an ideal potential build site or a ready-to-enjoy hunting retreat.

The property features utilities, including rural water, electricity, and fiber internet available along the road. It boasts two water sources, including a creek system that flows throughout the property and a newly built pond designed to support wildlife. This land offers exceptional trophy deer, turkey, pheasant, and quail hunting opportunities, with strategic edge cover and multiple thick draws providing excellent bedding areas. Access for hunting in various wind directions is superb, and a major travel corridor along the creek system connects habitats to the south and northeast. As an added bonus, five strategically placed ladder stands and a new "Whitetail Group" tower stand are included with the sale. In terms of food plots and management, the farm features a professionally drill-seeded half-acre alfalfa plot, two acres planted with beans, and three kill plots featuring a mix of clover, radish, brassica, and oats. A significant portion of the beans is surrounded by electric fencing to save for late-season hunting. Approximately 25 acres of open ground, with a CSR2 rating of 51.6, is drill-seeded with big bluestem and switchgrass. The newly dug pond has been designed to be 8 feet deep to prevent stagnation and encourage a healthy ecosystem. Additionally, green screen plantings of miscanthus along one of the kill plots provide extra concealment and enhance habitat diversity.

The property also includes a large storage shed for protecting equipment from the elements and extensive trail systems throughout the farm that facilitate easy navigation.
