Agents Comments-
Turn the key and youre walking into a whitetail sanctuary. This farm has the pedigree, structural improvements, and the layout to compete with the best farms in Iowa. The harvest history and trail camera photos speak for themselves.
Dynamic Terrain, Top Shelf Management, and World Class Whitetail Hunting! Located in Lucas County, Iowa lies A Whitetail Sanctuary. This turnkey 302.73 +/- 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. Details below on what has roamed this whitetail paradise.
Upon arrival, you will meander down the long rock lane to a one of a kind custom log home built in the center of the section. Vast dense timber and centralized grain plots have provided the herd with years and years of safety and nutrition year around. The current owner not only had a vision to target B&C bucks but also implement an off season plan over the years to pull and carry deer through the off season. Walk out your front door and experience some of the best whitetail hunting the midwest has to offer. Its not uncommon to have deer in the backyard on a daily basis all year long. In the winter months you can plan to see 35-70 deer per evening under the current program. As you tour the farm, you will see big hardwood timber oak ridges, native grasses, fertile bottom foodplots, a tremendous amount of thick south facing bedding thickets created by TSI improvements, and abundant cover. 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 deep in the bottoms allowing for close range combat on those November mornings. Road access on the farm comes from three locations, 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. Late season grain plots have been planted in secluded locations close to cover to allow deer to bed close and utilize grains to rebuild after the tough rut conditions. Its not uncommon to see 50 to 60 deer in the field during late season hunts on this farm. The countless amount of sheds (70 130 yearly), trail camera photos, and video footage make the history on this farm unmatched on the market. The idea was thoroughly thought through at the time of purchase an open slate was evolved. From designing footplots, countless hours of TSI and habitat improvement projects over the past 12 years of history youre buying the best of the best in the heart of Iowa.

Lucas County - 507th Lane, Lucas, IA
This 183.85-acre m/l farm, located in Section 8 of Jackson Township, Lucas County, Iowa, offers a well-rounded combination of productive cropland, improved pasture, and hay ground. Of the total acres, approximately 125.40 acres are currently in row crop production. These tillable acres have a weighted CSR2 rating of 40.8, with gently rolling topography and established terraces that support long-term soil conservation and effective water management. The farm features a variety of soil types, primarily including Arispe, Gara, Bucknell, and Pershing series, known for their moderate productivity and drainage characteristics.
Over the years, significant improvements have been made throughout the property. On the north side, a pond was constructed in 2020, with a Cobett livestock waterer installed just below it to provide a reliable water source for livestock. In 2022, a portion of the north farm was seeded to alfalfa, adding to the farms value for forage production. The pastureland has been fully cleaned up and improved, with a new four-barb interior fence dividing it into two functional paddocks. A shared access area is located below the pond, allowing for efficient livestock movement. The entire exterior pasture boundary has also been fenced with new barbed wire.
The cropland has been well cared for, with terracing in place to preserve soil integrity and promote drainage. An older machine shed, located on the south portion of the farm, offers storage for equipment or supplies. This thoughtfully maintained property presents a turnkey opportunity for a variety of agricultural operations, including row crop production, haying, and cattle grazing.

Lucas County - 25095 490th St, Chariton, IA
This 101 acre +/- Lucas County property has the unique combination of ultimate seclusion at the end of a dead-end road, yet located only just over a half mile from pavement, and less than 5 minutes east from the town of Chariton. With expansive views of rolling terrain, peace and quiet, great wildlife habitat and deer/turkey hunting, fishing pond, 3 fruit tree orchards, pasture or cash rent income possibilities, and gorgeous views from the living room picture windows in the 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath, 1,648 sq ft. ranch home with walk-out basement, there is a lot to love about this beautiful property! It offers in spades the many charms and benefits of southern Iowa rural country living but without miles and miles of gravel roads or a 20-minute drive to the nearest gas, groceries, dining, entertainment, banking, and other services.
Southern Iowa is of course known for great deer hunting, and while Lucas County (Non-Resident deer Zone 5) doesn’t get as much publicity as some other counties, there are just as big of bucks in Lucas as anywhere else in southern Iowa. Please note that the landowner is an older gentleman and hasn’t run trail cameras in years. All the trail camera photos and video clips with this listing are from the listing agent’s cameras on the property from August, 2025. The property has rolling topography encompassing ridgetops down to bottoms and is a very nice mix of mature, quality native hardwoods (white oaks, etc.), thick understory growth/deer browse, and open acres for hay, food plots, or even row crops. Bordered by neighboring properties with great connecting deer habitat. There are 3 established orchards with approximately 75 total apple trees, a dozen pear trees, and several each of pawpaw, cherry, peach and plum trees, plus blueberry bushes, 6 chestnut trees and 5 pecan trees!
2 ¼ acres of food plots have already been planted for the 2025 deer season, with multiple other good food plot locations that have been used in the past also. There are just under 15 acres that have a 65+ csr2 soil rating and could either be cash rented for income to a local farmer, or would make fantastic standing corn and/or soybeans plots that would draw deer in like crazy from the neighborhood for late Winter muzzy season hunting! Each of the 3 established food plots for the 2025 season have modern elevated box blinds that will stay with the property, and 2 of the 3 blinds also are right by planted fruit orchards that have a good crop of apples this year! Every food plot on this property is completely hidden and private from neighbors and roads because of the rolling topography. A 30x40 machine shed with concrete floor offers storage space for tractors/utv’s, mowers, food plotting implements, etc.
The home is a 1,648 sq ft. ranch with walk-out basement situated in a beautiful ridgetop location with nice hardwood and evergreen shade trees around. The home would be a perfect full-time location for raising a family, entertaining guests, or as a part-time residence, as the current owner has used it for a number of years. The main level has 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, with the master bedroom having an en suite bathroom. The updated kitchen has beautiful wood cabinets and lots of space, sitting right beside the dining area with a beautiful view onto the property. The large, open living room space has a wood burning fireplace and an absolutely gorgeous view out onto the property from the huge picture windows, great for simply enjoying the outdoor scenery or for use with a binoculars and spotting scope for wildlife spotting. From the 2-car attached garage you walk into a very large mud room with laundry facilities. Central air conditioning and propane heat for the whole home, and the outside a/c unit was recently replaced. 100% of the electricity is provided by a large array of solar panels, the landowner currently only pays $200/year to the electric company for the connection and transmission fees. Water is provided by Rathbun Rural Water.
The home’s lower level is a finished walk-out basement that has 1,236 sq ft. of additional finished living space which includes a large additional bedroom, ¾ bath, wood stove, and a *huge* amount of currently open space that could be turned into a theater room, game room, man cave, hunting gear storage, or even more sleeping rooms! The sale includes a large hot tub on the front deck that is in excellent working condition.
Refrigerator, Stove, Microwave, Dishwasher, Washer, Dryer, and Freezer appliances to stay with the home, some furniture may be negotiable to stay if desired, and outdoor grill also. Propane tank is owned, not leased.
