Description
This farm is in Northwest Monroe County, which is known for its beautiful scenic views and excellent deer hunting. It has a great mix of tillable and timber, providing great opportunities for income production, hunting, and some excellent building sites. It is located northwest of Albia and straight south of Knoxville, about 45 minutes from the Des Moines area.
The property is comprised of approximately 20 tillable acres, and the balance is in timbered draws and brush. As this sits currently, the tillable acres are overgrown, providing great wildlife habitat and you can see multiple trails winding through these hillsides. Adjacent to some of these wooded draws, some nice, secluded spots would make great food plots. It would allow you to have food on the north and the south side of this main draw that's going to hold the deer, so hunting any wind won't be a problem. The north half of the farm is a nice, gentle south-facing slope all the way down to the creek bottom, which would provide excellent bedding cover for those late-season whitetails. There is a dirt road along the east side and gravel along the north side, so there's excellent access from multiple locations.
Maybe you're looking for an excellent building site. On the north side, there are a few different locations right off the gravel road with beautiful, long-distance countryside views and plenty of space for a home or cabin. Rural water and electricity are also available at the road. On the northeast corner lies a small pond, which is a great water source for wildlife. Next to that is an old barn with a steel roof, which would provide excellent storage for your equipment.
The current owner hasn't hunted the property, so there's been no pressure for years. Trail camera photos show that even with no improvements for the deer, bucks naturally prefer to live and travel through this farm as it is a main funnel between bigger blocks of cover. With some basic habitat improvements, this property could really be elevated to the next level. This farm has some excellent income opportunities.
Whether you're looking to build a house and enjoy the scenic Southern Iowa views on your own acreage, want to invest in a smaller income-producing property, or maybe you want to chase giant bucks through the creek bottom, contact Land Specialist Hersh Smith for your own private showing.
