Description
Tucked deep in Southern Iowa, one half mile north of the Missouri border, this 124-acre farm offers the key ingredients serious hunters look for in a reliable whitetail property. Located in classic big-buck country of Wayne County, the layout and natural features create outstanding opportunities to consistently hunt mature deer.
One of the standout features is the north pasture, a scenic 12-acre area that includes two ponds, one of which is nearly two acres and stocked for fishing. An old shed that was previously used as a cabin sits nearby, offering an ideal location for a future cabin or lodge with power and water close by. The view overlooking the pond makes this area especially appealing as a potential build site or weekend getaway.
The southern and eastern portions of the farm include approximately 30 acres of tillable ground currently suited for cash rent income, while also offering excellent potential for food plots or an enhanced hunting setup. Two strategically placed blinds already overlook hidden field corners where deer naturally enter the fields, creating great ambush locations for both early and late season hunting.
The farm also features south-facing hillsides with open canopy timber and excellent sunlight reaching the ground — an ideal bedding habitat that deer are already using heavily. The current owner found 20 sheds in these bedding areas this year alone. With some habitat work, such as prescribed burning and management of cool-season grasses, these hillsides could become even more productive while already sitting in prime locations for consistent deer activity.
Along the creek bottom, two major drainages funnel into a heavily traveled corridor loaded with deer sign and trails. This natural travel route creates the kind of rut activity Southern Iowa hunters dream about, with cruising bucks using the creek system to move throughout the area.
Whether you're looking for a turnkey hunting farm to enjoy immediately or a property with the potential to create your own custom habitat and hunting design, this farm offers an excellent foundation in a highly desirable Southern Iowa location.
