Majestic Loess Hills Hunting Farm With Income
185th St. Thurman, IA 51654
Description
Welcome to your own slice of paradise nestled in the heart of the Loess Hills of Southwest Iowa. Whether you're searching for a premier hunting property, a recreational getaway, a quality land investment, or the perfect location to build your dream home, this exceptional farm offers endless possibilities. Conveniently located less than 45 miles from the Omaha/Council Bluffs metro, you'll enjoy the perfect balance of privacy, seclusion, and accessibility to modern amenities.
Combination farms of this caliber rarely become available in Southwest Iowa. The property features multiple gated entrances along the east and southeast boundaries, providing excellent access to several areas of the farm. Located just one-half mile from paved Bluff Road, the property offers quick access to I-29 and nearby communities. One of the standout features is the well-maintained internal trail system, allowing easy travel throughout much of the farm. In a region where navigating rugged terrain can often be challenging, this property's extensive trail network provides exceptional accessibility and usability.
Recreation and hunting opportunities are at the forefront of this offering. The farm is situated in an area well-known for producing quality whitetails and abundant turkey populations. The diverse mix of timbered ridges, rolling hills, crop ground, creek bottoms, and natural edge habitat creates ideal conditions for wildlife to thrive. Horse Creek meanders through the southern portion of the property, further enhancing habitat diversity and creating numerous natural travel corridors, stand locations, and opportunities for future food plot development. The property offers the framework for a true whitetail hunting paradise that can be customized to fit your vision.
Beyond hunting, the farm offers year-round recreational enjoyment. Morel mushrooms are commonly found throughout the property during the spring months, and a large shooting bench with established targets out to 200 yards is located on the northern portion of the farm. An older bus has been converted into a rustic cabin-style structure, creating a unique camping area that's perfect for weekend getaways, family outings, or relaxing after a day outdoors.
In addition to its recreational value, the property provides an attractive income-producing component. Approximately 44.26± acres are currently in tillable production with an average CSR2 rating of 72.3. The current tenant has planted soybeans for the 2026 growing season and retains tenancy rights for this growing season. The property's mature hardwood timber includes a healthy mix of oak and walnut trees that may offer future timber value. For those not interested in personally hunting the farm, leasing the hunting rights could provide an additional source of annual income.
The scenic Loess Hills setting offers several outstanding potential building sites with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Electricity is available along both the south and east boundaries, making future development convenient and accessible.
Whether you're looking to build your dream home, establish a recreational retreat, expand your investment portfolio, or own an awesome hunting property in one of Southwest Iowa's most sought-after regions, this farm deserves your attention.
