Albia, IA
Monroe
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. This tract not only captures movement from surrounding farms in all directions, but also acts as a primary bedding area for deer that live on and around the property. It functions as a central pinch point and transition zone for adjoining properties and nearby cover, naturally pulling deer through the farm while holding a resident population that calls this property home. 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. The current owners have developed and managed the property over the past 15 years, primarily focusing on recreational hunting and maintaining a balanced doe population, while selectively harvesting mature bucks when the opportunity presented itself—allowing the area’s natural age structure to develop and consistently produce quality deer. This neighborhood consistently produces high-caliber whitetails year after year. Improvements on the property provide both function and a unique recreational experience. A nostalgic cabin, complete with a wood stove and all the basic amenities, offers a comfortable basecamp for weekend stays or extended visits. The setting brings you back to the good old days of deer camp, with a true throwback feel that’s getting harder to find. The cabin is well kept, neat, and clean—ready to enjoy from day one. The setting is private and tucked off the road, creating a secluded feel while still being just minutes from Albia. The surrounding area allows space for additional campers, tents, and outdoor gatherings. A 24’ x 36’ pole building with concrete floor, electric, and two overhead doors provides excellent storage for equipment, ATVs, and tools. The farm features an extensive trail system throughout the mature hardwood timber, allowing easy access to stand locations, quiet entry/exit routes, and year-round recreational use including ATV/UTV riding and hiking. Key Highlights: 98± acres in Monroe County, Iowa Proven trophy whitetail area with decades of history Prime funnel property connecting large blocks of habitat Major bedding, travel corridor, and pinch point location Seasonal creek/ditch with rugged terrain features South access for ideal hunting setups in multiple conditions Established food plot near cabin Mature hardwood timber with strong cover and travel corridors Low-pressure neighborhood with large surrounding landowners Cabin with wood stove and basic amenities, clean and well kept 24’ x 36’ pole building with concrete and electric Extensive trail system throughout the property Secluded setting just ~4 miles from Albia Excellent future building site potential This property offers a rare combination of proven hunting performance, strong location, functional improvements, and year-round recreational appeal.

Centerville, IA
Appanoose
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.
