Property Description
Iowa Hunting & Recreational Land For SaleLocated less than 50 miles from Des Moines, this property offers a rare combination of strong income, high-quality wildlife habitat, and excellent recreational features. With over $30,000 annually in CRP income, a proven track record for giant whitetails, and an 8-acre lake, this farm checks every box
Don’t let the absence of big timber fool you—this is a true big buck sanctuary. In the 2024 season, two bucks scoring in the mid-180s and near 200″ were captured on trail camera here and later harvested by neighbors. Photos and official scores are available.
The farm includes 4 acres of electric-fenced food plots, designed to provide dependable late-season hunting opportunities. CRP cover consists of tall warm-season grasses including Big Bluestem, Indian Grass, and Switchgrass—excellent bedding habitat for deer and strong upland bird potential for pheasant and quail hunters.
At the heart of the property is a clear, 8-acre lake over 20 feet deep, stocked with largemouth bass, bluegill, and catfish—ideal for year-round enjoyment.
Additional improvements include new fencing along more than half of the property’s boundary, including the road frontage. In the 2024 and 2025 spring seasons, the owner planted over 1,200 trees to establish future thermal cover and wildlife habitat. All CRP maintenance (MCM) work has been completed under the current contract.
While this property offers world-class hunting opportunities and investment potential, the seller is motivated due to a current lack of access to a non-resident deer license.
