Description
PRICE REDUCED! This vast property along southeast Iowa’s Skunk River has gated/dead-end road access, thick bottomland habitat, a nice winding creek, and upland hardwoods. It’s home to trophy bucks, pheasant, quail, turkey, and waterfowl. It generates over $28,000 annually from CRP and the grain bin. We were blown away by its amount of diversity, character, edge, and cover.
As we look back on our past client’s success, some of the best hunting and largest deer have come from this type of bottomland habitat; the Skunk is notorious for growing giants. Much of this land is on a “second bench,” a slight elevation increase from the primary floodplain level. In these areas, there is an excellent stand of native grasses, forbs, and wildflowers growing as part of the Conservation Reserve Program.
Two experienced bowhunters have developed the food plot, trail network, scrape sites, and blind locations to maximize mature buck usage and encounters during the fall. Trail camera history shows a high amount of mature trophy bucks here! The tower blinds are heavy duty, several standing on 15-foot anchored steel, and they are heated for maximum comfort during the nasty weather that provides the best hunting opportunities. I flushed pheasants and quail while we photographed the listing, and the owners have confirmed it holds a healthy population of upland game birds.
This property scores high for a potential wetland conservation easement option if the future owners desire to pursue this decision. Conservation easements are common along midwest rivers, and typically they offer a one-time payment in exchange for setting aside sensitive acres for permanent wetland and wildlife habitats. The grain bin area outside the floodplain would make a fantastic building site.
If you want to own an exceptional hunting property that feels huge, helps pay for itself, and has a combination of tremendous deer and bird hunting, you’ve probably waited a long time for this opportunity. Please call the listing agents to schedule a showing with advanced notice.
