Property Description
155.6 Acres with Trophy Whitetail Hunting and Income | Decatur County, Iowa
Located in Decatur County, Iowa, a few miles west of Interstate 35, this 155.6 acre recreational farm combines trophy whitetail hunting, dependable annual income, diverse wildlife habitat, and scenic build-site potential. Two-sided access from the east and west allows hunters to reach multiple areas of the property while limiting pressure on bedding and sanctuary areas.
The farm generates approximately $13,400 in estimated annual income through a combination of CRP acreage across the rolling ridges and productive tillable bottom ground. This income provides an attractive return while maintaining the food, cover, and habitat diversity needed to hold wildlife throughout the year. Acreage, program details, and income should be independently verified.
Rolling white oak ridges transition into timbered draws, CRP-covered hillsides, cedar thickets, productive bottom fields, and established food plots. A short year-round creek and three ponds provide dependable water sources. A secluded destination food plot positioned within thick cedar cover has a proven history of attracting mature bucks, and the documented mature bucks are known to have survived the 2025 hunting season.
Elevated ridge locations provide panoramic views of the surrounding southern Iowa countryside and potential settings for a home, hunting lodge, or weekend cabin. With planted food plots, proven hunting history, income production, excellent access, and habitat for deer, turkey, and pheasants, this Decatur County property is ready for hunting, recreation, wildlife management, investment, or future development.
