This secluded 60-acre farm offers an excellent combination of CRP income, recreational appeal, and long-term investment potential. The property includes 49.63 acres currently enrolled in the HEL Iowa CRP program with annual payments of $6,948 through 2035. Access is provided through a gated easement off Kendall Street, creating a private setting ideal for hunting and outdoor recreation. The farm features a nearly 1-acre pond surrounded by massive old burr oaks, rolling terrain, and diverse habitat throughout. The draws contain walnut trees, particularly in the northeast corner, along with elm, cherry, cottonwood, and hackberry. This area of southern Iowa is well known for strong whitetail genetics and abundant turkey populations. A large block of over 400 contiguous acres of timber lies to the northwest, creating excellent bedding habitat and an ideal setup for prevailing northwest and west winds during the fall hunting season. Surrounding CRP, grass, and hay ground combined with limited nearby food sources provide outstanding opportunities for strategically placed food plots to enhance wildlife movement and hunting success. Soils primarily consist of Lamoni Clay Loam, Shelby Loam, Arispe Silty Clay Loam, Adair Loam, and Grundy Silty Clay with slopes ranging from 5-25%. Conveniently located within 50 minutes of West Des Moines, this affordable Southern Iowa property offers income, water, habitat, and recreational opportunity in one complete package.
