Property Description

Situated along 260th Street, this diverse property offers a productive mix of farmland and timber, making it an ideal asset for both investors and recreational buyers. According to FSA records, the farm includes 73.77 cropland acres with an impressive average CSR2 of 71.3, well above the Decatur County average of 40.1. The primary soil types - Zook silt loam, Nodaway silt loam, and Humeston silt loam - are among the most desirable in the region for crop production.

Of the cropland, 5.8 acres are enrolled in a CRP CP42 contract, paying $238.44 per acre, or $1,384 annually, through 2026. The remaining tillable acres are under a 3-year cash rent lease at the same rate of $238.44/acre, generating an annual rental income of $14,771.

The southern and eastern portions of the farm feature mature hardwoods and a timber-lined creek, providing natural pinch points, bedding cover, and water - key ingredients for outstanding whitetail and turkey hunting. The property is bordered by large blocks of timber, further enhancing its appeal as a premier hunting tract.

Please note: A conservation easement exists along Little River, protecting 66 feet from the centerline on each side of the river corridor. This ensures the long-term preservation of the riparian zone while allowing full use and enjoyment of the remainder of the property.
