Property Description

From the beautiful gated entrance to the sweeping southern Iowa views beyond, this exceptional 162 +/- acre property immediately showcases the diversity, character, and recreational appeal that make this region one of the Midwest's premier destinations for land ownership. Rolling hills, productive tillable acres, mature hardwood timber, secluded creek corridors, a picturesque pond, and outstanding wildlife habitat combine to create a property that feels much larger than its acreage suggests.

The property features approximately 100 +/- tillable acres currently leased as part of a larger farming operation, providing dependable annual income while offering flexibility for future agricultural production, food plots, and wildlife habitat enhancement. The current agricultural lease generates approximately $18,720 annually through December 31, 2026, while also creating the opportunity for additional revenue through a hunting lease, further enhancing the property's long-term investment potential. Final FSA acreage will be determined following survey and parcel split.

Diversity defines this farm. Productive open fields gradually transition into mature hardwood timber, bedding pockets, winding creek corridors, rolling ridges, and natural edge habitat that consistently attract and hold wildlife throughout the year. Rather than one large block of timber, the landscape is broken into numerous fingers and pockets of cover that create the security mature whitetails seek while offering hunters exceptional stand locations and multiple travel corridors.

The rolling terrain is one of the property's greatest assets. Long ridges provide beautiful views across the Southern Iowa countryside while naturally directing wildlife movement through timbered draws and creek crossings below. From October bow season through Iowa's late muzzleloader season, this property offers exceptional versatility. Natural bedding pockets, timbered funnels, secluded creek crossings, productive alfalfa fields, and the opportunity for future standing grain or food plot strategies provide the ingredients serious deer hunters look for in a manageable Southern Iowa hunting farm, all with the added benefit of great farm income.

A scenic pond built in 2024 and a winding creek corridor further enhance the property's natural beauty while supplying dependable water for wildlife throughout the year. The property also adjoins portions of the Ringgold Wildlife Area, enhancing the surrounding habitat while providing an additional point of access to portions of the farm.

Whether your plans include planting food plots, chasing November whitetails, listening to spring gobblers at sunrise, producing dependable annual income, or simply owning a beautiful piece of southern Iowa, Lotts Creek Ridge Farm offers an outstanding opportunity to make those plans a reality.
