PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Turn the key on the gated entrance and you’re driving into a whitetail bowhunter’s paradise. This farm has terrain changes, layout, structural improvements, and history to compete with the best farms in Iowa. This 219 +/- acre premier hunting farm fully remodeled and furnished home sits in the heart of Monroe County Iowa an area famous for producing giant trophy whitetails every year. Extremely secluded yet only minutes from town on a paved road 170th Street, this is a rare opportunity to own a true turnkey property designed for serious hunters who demand quality in a farm, improvements and a whitetail deer herd.
Located in Monroe County, Iowa lies “A Bowhunter’s Paradise”…. This turnkey 219 +/- deeded acre whitetail mecca was set up for the avid bowhunter targeting world class whitetails. The terrain, minimal pressure, pinpoint food plot designs, strategic entry and exit stand access, interior trail system, timber management, and an extensive amount of south facing bedding areas make up the short list of what makes this farm dynamic to the serious whitetail manager. This farm was crafted and improved over the years to enhance hunting effectiveness along with a long-term vision to hold and grow Boone and Crocket whitetails in well known Monroe County, Iowa.
The vast dense timber and secluded transition food plots as well as destination grain food plots have provided the herd with years and years of safety and nutrition year around. Walk out your front door and experience some of the best whitetail hunting Iowa has to offer. The cover on this farm is one that you have to see in person to appreciate with years of hard work spent improving the habitat. The terrain creates numerous bottle neck pitch points on oak ridge tops allowing for close range combat on those November mornings. Road access on the farm comes from two locations (north and south), giving you strategic access no matter the wind or situation. With edging transitioning to thick creek bottom cover allow the avid bowhunter endless possibilities for early season through November rut hunts, knowing any minute a giant could appear. A 20-25 acre ag field provides late season destination nutrition, while allowing deer to bed close and utilize grains to rebuild after the tough rut conditions. The dense cedar thickets provide great thermal cover close to the destination food source creating an ideal late season setup every year. From designing footplots, countless hours of TSI and habitat improvement projects over the past 12 years of history you’re buying the best of the best in the heart of Iowa.
