High Quality Tillable and Hunting on Bear Creek

Property Description

This 156.5 +/- acre farm is built for the buyer whose primary focus is high-quality and high-yielding tillable land located in an outstanding hunting neighborhood with trophy whitetails, turkey, and upland. The property offers $24,753 in annual income and is one of the most well-manicured properties I have seen, with a balance of cropland, marketable timber, CRP, and 4,900 feet of Bear Creek frontage. Providing UTV trail access to 6 food plot locations, 5 included hunting blinds, hidden field pockets, dense CRP grass, with excellent access and multiple entry points to the farm. With touring farms all throughout Missouri and Iowa, many offer one strong selling feature such as crop production or recreation, this farm truly is a top-tier option for each of those, which is very difficult to find in a region such as Northwest Missouri. Farms such as this are highly sought after and continue to appreciate in value regardless of market trends.

The farm offers 103.96 FSA tillable acres, which includes 83.47 acres of cropland and 20.49 acres enrolled in CRP. The cropland has been leased by a reputable long-term local tenant, paying $218/acre ($18,190/year), on a year-to-year lease agreement, while the CRP provides $125.10/acre ($2,563.30/year) expiring 9/30/2030. Conservation Practices include CP2, CP42, and CP12, and have been properly maintained in accordance with the contract. The farm boasts a solid 71 NCCPI overall rating on the 103.96 tillable acres, with the majority of the fertile creek bottom soils reaching into the 80s.

For the outdoorsman, the property provides variations of wildlife food sources, dense grass and timber for bedding, gently rolling topography, areas of open canopy timber, and water stretching through the entire center of the property, offering an ideal habitat required to hold wildlife year-round. The seller has 5 blinds overlooking standing soybean plots, and one food plot inside the timber. Surrounded by large landowners in all directions, and located on a very lightly traveled road with no residences in sight, the several-mile radius around the farm is very remote and an absolute mecca for holding mature whitetails. Road access on the south and west side of the property allows the landowner to access stand locations strategically, considering wind and bedding areas. If you look at an aerial view and zoom out you will recognize there are large blocks of timber that funnel into this property from multiple directions. Not only does this farm have the habitat to hold whitetail, but the design of the property and surrounding properties create a major intersection for traffic during the rut. It is simply a fun place to hunt during the entire season.

This 156.5 +/- acres is a true investment and recreational tract for the buyer that is seeking both a strong crop return and excellent hunting in Northwest Missouri. With the year-to-year farm lease agreement, the farm also has the ability to be purchased by an owner-operator. There is no question this farm checks many boxes for those searching, and I would love to give you a tour. Call Will Wiest, Land Broker with Midwest Land Group for additional information.
