Rare Offering Near Perry Lake

Property Description

Properties of this size and quality, in this market, rarely become available. This 321 +/- acre farm offers a rare opportunity to own a high-quality recreational and investment tract just minutes from Perry Lake. Situated just outside of Valley Falls, this property has gated access off K-4 Highway, but no actual road frontage. This rare combination is a best-case scenario for a hunting property, as you have year-round, convenient access, with the lack of visibility from any road. Combining productive tillable acreage, mature hardwood timber, abundant water, excellent native grasses, and convenient access, the property is well-suited for continued quality hunting with good income, as well as a potential private country homesite.

Approximately 140 +/- acres consist of well-maintained tillable fields currently planted to soybeans, with another 20 +/- acres of native grass buffers remaining from an expired government program. The productive soil profile ranges from Class II to Class IV. The tillable ground has been leased annually to a longtime local tenant, with the current lease remaining in place for the 2026 crop year on a 50/50 crop share, and the acreage becoming open for the 2027 season. This acreage has typically yielded soybean harvests exceeding 50 bushels to the acre, generating an above average return for a property that hunts as well as this.

The remaining acres are composed of timber, native grasses, forbs, rolling creek habitat, live springs, and ponds, creating a beautiful and diverse recreational landscape. A tremendous amount of edge habitat winds throughout the farm next to a mature timber canopy consisting primarily of burr oak, white oak, walnut, cottonwood, sycamore, elm, and cedar. A large pond provides fishing and waterfowl opportunities and has a managed open space around it, planted to alfalfa, providing an additional food source for the wildlife. With limited hunting pressure over recent years, the farm presents an exciting, mostly blank canvas for developing a premier hunting property. Multiple hunting blinds are in place and will be included with the property. Strategic food plots, feeders, additional trails, blinds, and habitat improvements could further enhance its potential for whitetail deer, turkey, and other native wildlife. A robust number of whitetail deer and turkeys were seen upon initial inspection and photography of the property, with multiple bucks feeding in the soybeans well into the morning. This property needs to be seen in person to truly understand, and has a feel similar to landscapes of southern Iowa, providing a new owner with a similar hunting experience. This property has sufficient acreage for up to four non-resident Hunt On Your Own Land permits.

The location is as good as it gets, just 1.5 miles east of Valley Falls on K-4 Highway, minutes from Perry Lake and thousands of acres of public recreational access. The power and water available nearby adds significant value for anyone considering a future residence, recreational cabin, or country retreat. The rolling terrain, ponds, wooded acres, productive fields, and scenic countryside combine to offer incredible views and multiple potential building locations. All mineral rights are believed to be intact and will transfer with the property. For additional information or to schedule a tour, contact Cole Schumacher.
