This 98± acre Monroe County, Iowa tract is a premier hunting and recreational property located just southwest of Albia in a proven, low-pressure “sleeper” neighborhood with a long-standing reputation for producing top-end trophy whitetails. The farm is nearly all timber and serves as a key travel corridor connecting thousands of acres of surrounding habitat including hardwood timber, pasture, and crop ground. A seasonal creek/ditch combined with rugged terrain features runs through the heart of the property, creating a natural funnel that concentrates wildlife movement for miles—making this farm hunt exceptionally well, especially during the rut.

With south access, hunters can effectively set up for a wide range of wind directions and seasonal patterns, and a small established food plot just behind the cabin provides a reliable food source and ideal setup for early and late season opportunities. The area is tightly held by a handful of large landowners, resulting in limited hunting pressure and a strong age structure.

Located just north of Centerville, IA, this 140-acre property offers the ideal combination of productive farmland and top-tier hunting. The farm includes 95 acres of tillable ground with an average CSR above 67 for high productivity. It generates $19,000 annually in cash rent and has a consistent history of strong crop yields. All tillable acres would also be eligible for future CRP enrollment if the next owner chooses to transition to conservation programs. Over 40 acres of dense river-bottom hardwoods provide thick bedding cover and strong whitetail habitat. This area is truly a sleeper neighborhood where mature, trophy-class bucks can be consistently found year after year. The property sits off a dead-end road with very few surrounding roads, located in the middle of a large block of crop fields, timber, and river corridor—offering limited access and ideal seclusion for deer movement and unpressured hunting. The current owner has worked with the farm tenant to leave standing grain in key locations for food plot effectiveness, further improving late-season hunting. In addition to whitetails, this farm supports quality upland game and turkey hunting with healthy populations of quail, pheasant, and wild turkeys.  Additionally, its location within minutes of Rathbun Lake makes this a true investment opportunity with excellent recreation potential.
