Lucas County 120 Acres – SOLD
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Situated in a very remote part of Lucas County, IA, this 120 +/- acre recreational farm is as well rounded as they come in today’s land market. The stellar diversification with hardwood ridges, cedar thickets, ample water, and bedding thermals, with strategically placed food plots, allow deer to call this farm home year around. The farm consists of 46.96 +/- FSA cropland acres, 27.50 +/- acres are currently being farmed in a corn/bean rotation, 11.11 +/- acres are newly enrolled in a CP2 program (details below). The 53.5 CSR2 average on the tillable acres is above the county average giving you options for late season grain plots to hold deer all year. Recently, some of the expired CRP acres have been converted into row crop acres with a local producer providing income and flexibility. Multiple standing grain plots are currently positioned on the farm. Two Muddy tower blinds are located on the farm overlooking food plot locations. Two one acre established food plots are located on the farm providing kill plot opportunities during the bow season. The trail camera history is proof that the farm holds many deer and the age of the bucks are what every serious deer hunter is looking for. One 4.5 year old mature buck was passed in 2021 and pictures confirm he made it through the hunting season.
