Description
Located in Lucas County, Iowa, this +/- 99.17-acre property is defined by the Chariton River, which winds through the middle of the farm and divides it into two distinct halves. With mature timber, open ground, river frontage, wet bottomland, and a 2020 outbuilding with electric, this property offers a well-rounded recreational setup for whitetail, turkey, and waterfowl hunting.
Access is from 440th Street along the entire south boundary, with three separate driveways and gated entrances serving the south side of the property. A river crossing provides access to the north side of the farm, allowing you to reach both halves of the property from the road. With multiple entry points along the south line, hunters can approach different stand locations based on wind direction and minimize disturbance to the rest of the farm.
The south side of the farm holds the improvements and the open areas best suited for food plots. A 30 x 40 x 14-foot steel post-frame building built in 2020 sits near the road, with electric service and a concrete floor, offering secure storage for equipment, ATVs, and hunting gear, and a convenient base for working the property throughout the year. Open areas tucked into the timber on the south side provide good locations for food plots near cover.
The timber covers approximately +/- 49 acres and follows the Chariton River corridor through the center of the property, with large mature oaks throughout and tree plantings that add to the habitat. The river and its timbered banks form a natural funnel that concentrates deer movement during the rut, and the property shows heavy deer sign, with numerous scrapes and well-used trails running through the timber. The mix of hardwoods, mast, and edge habitat provides food and security cover for deer and turkeys throughout the year.
North of the river, the ground transitions to open, wet bottomland with small sloughs. This area is NOT enrolled in WRP or any other government program, and it attracts ducks and geese, adding a waterfowl opportunity that is uncommon on a farm of this size. Portions of the property lie within the Chariton River floodplain.
The property is set up to hunt, with three box blinds and additional stands in place. Deer, turkeys, and waterfowl all use the farm, and the combination of river, timber, wet ground, and open food plot areas supports wildlife throughout the seasons.
The property is located in southern Lucas County near Derby, with Chariton approximately 15 miles to the east and Des Moines about an hour north. Contact Whitetail Properties Land Specialist Dylan Hand to schedule a private showing.
