Property Description

This 195 +/- acre offering east of Mount Ayr represents what serious land buyers pursue in southern Iowa — a rare blend of high annual income, developing hardwoods, diverse water features, and proven trophy whitetail potential in a highly respected neighborhood.

The farm generates a total annual income of $24,585.69, derived from CRP programs, tillable land, and a 49-acre pasture/hay lease, which yields $4,704 annually. While the income is high, the habitat structure is what truly defines this property.

Approximately 10 years ago, a CRP tree planting was established, and those oaks and walnuts are now maturing into a legitimate hardwood component. These plantings, combined with cedar thickets, warm-season grasses, strong edge cover, three ponds (two on the 140-acre portion and one on the 55-acre tract), and a beautiful year-round creek, create the type of layered habitat structure mature bucks seek. This farm boasts some phenomenal locations for food plots that would elevate it to the next level.

The creek serves as a natural travel corridor and consistent movement route, allowing deer to transition securely through the property. The combination of water, bedding cover, travel corridors, and a surrounding large-acreage neighborhood habitat creates a setting capable of producing older age-class whitetails.

During November alone, two trail cameras documented multiple mature bucks and a strong age structure — a testament to both the farm’s layout and the strength of this Ringgold County corridor.
The property hunts well for multiple wind directions and allows for strategic entry and exit to preserve deer movement patterns. Additionally, scenic build site potential overlooking water offers the rare opportunity to live on your farm without disrupting core hunting areas.

Whether your goal is legacy ownership, income stability, or managing a property capable of producing trophy-caliber whitetails, this farm delivers.

Available as the full 195 acres or separately as 140 acres and 55 acres. Contact Land Agent Kyle Steinfeldt for details regarding current leases and for further information regarding income. Shown by appointment only.
