Description
PRICE REDUCED! This is a classic southeast Iowa hunting farm where the fundamentals are right - access, layout and habitat. It offers income, a rustic hunting camp, quality hardwoods, flat dirt and a proven deer history built over the last decade.
Located near Argyle in southern Lee County, the farm sits 5.5 miles from the Missouri state line, 17 miles from Illinois and within an hour and a half of the Iowa City and Cedar Rapids corridor. It’s easy to reach yet feels secluded, with the added benefit of convenient access to multiple states for hunters who like flexibility during the season.
There are 49 acres enrolled in CRP paying $9,992 annually through 2027, supporting habitat while providing steady income.
The owned driveway comes directly off Highway 218 and has a solid rock base beneath the grass surface. This is not an easement - the lane is exclusively part of the north parcel and puts you back into the farm, creating a private feel from the moment you enter.
A 30 x 56 pole building at the entrance serves as a simple, effective hunting camp with equipment storage and rustic living space. It’s generator-powered, heated with a wood-burning stove and has a sleeping loft, keeping overhead and maintenance low.
The access layout is one of the property’s biggest strengths and a key reason it hunts consistently well. The design allows low-impact movement to stand locations while keeping pressure off core bedding and timber areas, helping the farm hold deer and hunt well throughout the season.
Several established food plots are in place, including three large corn plots with clover edges. A secluded green plot in the southwest ties into the southern corn plot, creating a tight movement corridor that sets up especially well for October hunts. Multiple field pinch points allow true-wind setups, and the hilltop terrain adds another advantage.
The hardwood timber has seen minimal intrusion over the years, which is evident in the heavy trail activity exiting the timber. That lack of pressure helps produce daylight movement from early season through late season.
Overall, this is a proven southeast Iowa hunting property with income, strong access and a layout that continues to perform year after year. Contact listing agent Ben Harshyne with Whitetail Properties Real Estate for more information.
