Property Description
Monroe County Hunting & Income Producing Land168± acres located in a stretch of Monroe County where long-standing livestock producers and top-end cattle operations have shaped the land for generations—and where the same habitat also supports some of the county’s most consistent whitetail hunting. Surrounded by large, predominantly contiguous landowners, the property benefits from stability and habitat management practices that support mature deer year after year.
This farm features a versatile mix of terrain and habitat types, including rolling timbered draws, dense edge cover, CRP native grasses, and pockets of open ground. These elements work together to create natural travel corridors and multiple ideal hunting setups. With 101.98 acres enrolled in three separate CRP contracts, this property generates an annual income of $18,898. The open fields suitable for hay/crop production and strategically placed food plots enhance both utility and wildlife attraction.
Located within 1/4 mile of paved Hwy 34, this tract offers excellent options for a home or cabin with scenic views of the southern Iowa landscape—near Georgetown and Melrose, an area known for its deep-rooted productive cattle country, strong agricultural ground, and consistent top-tier wildlife populations.
It is rare to find properties of this caliber in such a well-regarded neighborhood, and tracts offering this level of habitat diversity and income seldom hit the market. This property provides a well-rounded combination of recreational opportunity, reliable income, quality deer and turkey hunting, and desirable building sites in a highly sought-after Southern Iowa location.
