Description
Located in the rolling countryside of Madison County, Iowa, this 68.86-acre m/l farm offers an outstanding combination of dependable CRP income, mature timber, quality wildlife habitat, and recreational opportunities. Situated northeast of Macksburg and southwest of Winterset, the property provides a secluded Southern Iowa setting while remaining within convenient reach of Winterset and the Des Moines metro.
The farm includes 46.71 acres enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), generating $11,052 in annual income through September 30, 2033. The established CRP provides a dependable source of income while also creating excellent bedding, nesting, and security cover for wildlife. Combined with the property's heavier timber component, wooded draws, edges, and surrounding agricultural land, the habitat diversity makes this an especially attractive recreational farm.
Whitetail deer hunting is a major highlight of this property. The combination of mature timber and thick CRP cover provides the ingredients needed for bedding, travel corridors, and secure daytime habitat. In addition to whitetails, the CRP and diverse cover provide habitat for pheasant, quail, turkey, and other wildlife.
Access is another strong feature. The property has excellent access from 280th Street along the south side, with gated entrances providing convenient entry to the farm. Quality southern access can be particularly valuable for a hunting property, allowing a landowner to approach and access portions of the farm without unnecessarily disturbing interior habitat. The combination of established access, existing blinds, timber, and CRP makes this a property that is already well-positioned for recreational use.
The location adds to the farm's long-term appeal. Winterset is nearby and serves as the Madison County seat, offering shopping, dining, schools, healthcare, and other everyday amenities. At the same time, the property is within convenient driving distance of the Des Moines metropolitan area, making it practical for a weekend hunting property, recreational getaway, or land investment without being hours from the metro.
Whether you're looking for a Southern Iowa whitetail property, dependable CRP income, a recreational retreat, or a long-term land investment, this 68.86-acre Madison County farm checks a lot of boxes. With $11,052 in annual CRP income, substantial timber, two elevated hunting blinds, gated entrances, and excellent access from 280th Street, this is a well-rounded recreational and income-producing property in a desirable location between Macksburg and Winterset.
