Property Description
This 72 +/- acre farm in Jefferson County offers strong hunting and recreational appeal. The surrounding area is largely made up of row crop ground, allowing this property to stand out as a pocket of cover that naturally attracts and holds deer and turkeys. Farms with this combination of habitat, water, and access are getting harder to find in this size range.The farm is well-balanced from a habitat standpoint. A combination of thick bedding cover, open hardwood timber with mature white oaks and walnut, approximately 6 acres of established food plots, and Rock Creek provides everything needed to hold wildlife year-round. The terrain—made up of ridges, ridge tops, and creek bottoms—naturally funnels movement and creates multiple high-quality stand locations. Deer and turkey sign is consistent throughout the farm. Multiple turkeys were heard gobbling the morning of the photos, and trail camera history proves quality deer genetics in the area. The layout allows the property to hunt bigger than its size and supports multiple setups without overpressuring the farm.
Access is a major advantage, with road frontage along both the east and north boundaries, allowing for clean entry and exit based on wind direction. The east side of the property also offers strong build site potential, with power and water available at the road—ideal for a cabin or country home.
Properties like this are becoming increasingly limited in this area, particularly in this size range. For buyers looking for a manageable, well-balanced hunting and recreational farm, this is a strong opportunity. Contact Korey O’Day at (515) 519-5779 to schedule your showing.
