I’ve been on hundreds of properties in the Midwest and “The Ranch” is, in my opinion, the very best! At 3600 acres, it’s the largest privately owned contiguous recreational property in Iowa and it’s in the heart of a neighborhood with over 10,000 managed acres. This property has produced countless giant bucks over the years, including Larry Zach’s 2000 buck that grossed 245” and netted 237 3/8” and was the new Iowa state record at the time. It’s also located less than 5 miles from where the World Record Lovstuen buck, which has a net non-typical score of 307 5/8”, was killed. It just doesn’t get any better from a neighborhood standpoint. The property itself is simply incredible. The sheer size of the property combined with the diversity create the ultimate whitetail paradise. There are huge blocks of timber, countless brushy draws, ridge top and creek bottom tillable fields, alfalfa fields, CRP fields, huge creek bottoms, wetlands, and numerous ponds. You have to see this property to appreciate it’s size and beauty and to understand what an incredible hunting property it is. This is a rare opportunity to purchase the equivalent of 257 acres but be able to enjoy and hunt 3600 acres in one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in Iowa. If you’d like be one of the owners of what is arguable the finest whitetail property in the entire country, you need to check this opportunity out.
