Description
Located on the Guthrie and Dallas County line near Linden, this 106.17-acre farm sits in the heart of a proven whitetail-producing area along the Middle Raccoon River. This is the kind of property that allows a serious deer hunter to build a long-term management plan—diverse cover, dependable water, secure access, and the ability to hold and grow mature bucks year after year. The farm offers roughly a half mile of riverfrontage, creating natural travel corridors that connect big blocks of timber in all directions. Two rock-bottom creeks cut through the property, providing water and pinch points that make perfect stand sites during the rut. The topography includes a mix of ridges, valleys, and flat benches that give deer security and multiple bedding options. Mature oak and hickory timber dominate the landscape, and the farm is enrolled in the Forest Reserve Program to keep property taxes minimal while maintaining long-term habitat quality. Seventeen open tillable acres in the center of the property provide excellent opportunities for food plots or native grass conversion. With the right mix of grain, greens, and late-season attraction, you can build a year-round food program that keeps deer on the property from summer through winter. This open ground is laid out perfectly for rotating food sources, setting up kill plots near bedding cover, and leaving security screens for low-impact access. The internal trail network is another strong point. You can slip in and out of nearly any stand location quietly and efficiently, regardless of wind direction or season. That kind of access makes it possible to hunt smart, minimize pressure, and target mature deer on their natural movement patterns. This property connects directly to large, well-managed timber tracts—an important piece of the puzzle for anyone serious about producing big Iowa whitetails. When you control a farm like this in a good neighborhood, your management efforts multiply. You can plant food, improve bedding, enhance habitat, and run mineral or protein sites knowing the deer using your farm are part of a larger, healthy herd with strong genetics and age structure. Whether you’re bowhunting October cold fronts or hunting standing grain food plots into late December or January, this farm has the right ingredients to produce consistent success. It’s the type of ground that offers year-round enjoyment—from shed hunting and trail camera work to off-season habitat improvements—and gives you the satisfaction of seeing the results of your management firsthand. To schedule a showing of this premier hunting property, give the listing agent and Land Specialist a call. Private showings by appointment only.
