Entire Farm Description:
Ranch & Farm Auctions, a division of Whitetail Properties Real Estate, is offering 99± acres in Jefferson County, Iowa, located 3.5 miles northeast of Birmingham and approximately 10 miles south of Fairfield. Situated just one mile from the Van Buren County line, this property is in the heart of Southeast Iowa’s renowned whitetail country and offers a dialed-in hunting property with attractive habitat, access, and income.
The layout is conducive to low-pressure hunting and sneaky access. Centralized cover creates a natural sanctuary while allowing movement around the property with minimal disturbance. Three established food plots provide flexibility for multiple wind directions. The northwest and southeast plots are in grain, while the northeast plot is in Whitetail Institute Alfa-Rack, a blend of alfalfa, chicory, and clover that provides year-round attraction.
Access is from the north on a 15-foot-wide lane along the north road and western fenceline, and also from the east on a private rock lane. Two established trails loop the property, creating convenient routes for equipment, trail camera monitoring, and quiet movement during hunting season.
This area is well known for producing mature bucks, with neighboring landowners practicing quality deer management and allowing younger deer to reach older age classes. The farm is naturally attractive to wildlife, with a woolly central ditch system bordered by crop fields that provide food and security throughout the year.
Diverse habitat adds to the appeal. Tall native grasses create transition cover around the timber, while hardwoods, including oak, walnut, and hickory, combine with brush species like hedge and locust to form strong bedding. The amount of edge, subtle terrain changes, and secluded pockets is impressive.
There is a CRP contract that pays $276.38/acre across 15.9 acres. There is a new CRP contract for 18.61 acres at a rate of $222.77/acre, through 2036. The buyer will be responsible for seeding the CRP if they desire to keep it; this ground could continue to be used as tillable acres.
With its layout, habitat diversity, income, and history of mature whitetails, this is a strong Southeast Iowa hunting farm that offers both enjoyment and long-term income ability.
The property will be offered as an online auction until 1:00 PM on Thursday, September 24, on RanchAndFarmAuctions.com; sold in one tract to the highest bidder, subject to seller confirmation.

Jefferson County - - 240th St., Fairfield, IA
This is a beautiful, well-improved hunting property. Located near Fairfield, Iowa, and the wildlife-rich Jefferson County, Iowa. The property is extremely well-suited for serious hunters looking to grow, manage, and harvest mature whitetails and turkeys. A rare bonus is that the adjoining land owners on two sides do not allow hunting, and one other adjoining land owner is a serious wildlife manager. Finding that in a small parcel is impossible to find.
The property features two kill plots a total of 1.5± acre in size. The established food plots have been planted to clover. This food source attracts deer that live on the property, as well as deer traveling from neighboring private timber. The habitat makeup is a mix of cedar thickets and hardwood timber with groves of white pines. A newly constructed 4-man banks blind is located in a secluded area along a food source travel corridor, making a perfect spot to ambush a cruising buck or strutting turkey on the property. 3 lock on stands are located on the property in well-thought-out and proven locations. This property truly is turn-key for the next owner.
With the game-rich populations, established hunting setups, and proven deer quality, this farm is a must-see for anyone looking for a small parcel that hunts big. In the fall the property has deer signs everywhere, and in the spring, the turkeys are abundant. Located at the end of its own deeded lane, this farm offers low-pressure seclusion. Property is owned by a licensed real estate agent.
