Marion County - 176th Pl, Knoxville, IA
Serious whitetail hunters know that food, water, and cover are absolutely essential to growing, holding, and eventually harvesting big whitetails. Properties that have all three in abundance rarely come to market! Introducing Switch Hills Hunting Farm, a 127 +/- acre income-producing recreational property in Marion County, Iowa, that is loaded with everything that deer need to survive and thrive, and a phenomenal setup for a hunter to take advantage of while also being a great financial investment! This property has high quality bedding cover scattered throughout, made up of thick creek bottoms, hardwood timber patches, and rolling hillsides planted to switchgrass. The spread out nature of these sections means the property should hold multiple mature bucks during the fall without overcrowding. Water is abundant throughout the property, with two small ponds, multiple water holes, and a creek winding through the north end of the property. Two strategically located and established clover plots will prove to be phenomenal ambush sites for a bowhunter, allowing for kill-plot hunts on multiple wind directions. Connecting timber on each side farm allows this property to not only access the residential deer on it, but also the big whitetails that are known to travel this neighborhood. The 51+/- tillable acres currently planted to soybeans will serve as both a great source of income as well as a great destination food source to drive deer movement patterns. Two acres of standing beans will be left for the buyer, giving you a perfect setup for late season, pulling deer from a known trophy producing neighborhood and capitalizing on a mature buck's need to feed. Two tower blinds being left with the property will get you immediately in the game on some of the big whitetails on this farm. The significant tillable acreage as well as the income-producing switchgrass hillsides also creates an opportunity for the property to be changed however a habitat manager sees fit, adding additional bedding and/or food to customize their own hunting experience. One will also find that access into and throughout this property is excellent, with two gated access points on opposite ends of the property as well as a mowed trail system meandering throughout the farm. There are also multiple potential homesites located on this beautiful property, and it would be very easy to picture someone who loves rural living turning this place into their home. This property has been strictly managed, and has been unhunted for the past two years. The recent trail camera pictures reveal a solid whitetail herd, with upper age class. Buyers have an option of purchasing an additional amount of tillable acreage (58 +/- acres) located directly North of the farm and another 23.5 +/- acres that lies on the West side of the property that is currently being surveyed out for a building site. Located just outside of Attica and 6+/- miles from Knoxville, this place is just a short drive away from the amenities of town.

Marion County - 000 HWY 14, Columbia, IA
Now is your chance to secure a premier southern Iowa hunting farm just north of Columbia in Marion County. This 103.87-acre property sits in the coveted drift plains region an area known for top-end whitetail genetics, diverse habitat, and minimal pressure from surrounding landowners.
A Trophy-Class Hunting Property with Diverse Habitat
The property offers a powerful mix of timber, CRP, and row crop acres, providing ideal bedding, browse, and seasonal food sources for whitetail deer, turkey, and upland game. With 36 acres enrolled in CRP (CP25), native grasses and pollinators provide cover and income $5,546 annually while 12.6 acres of tillable ground (leased for the 2025 season) can generate additional revenue or serve as strategically placed food plots. The tenant is currently leaving around 3 acres of standing grain to ambush big bucks late into season.
Mature hardwoods, including walnut and oak, are scattered across the 44.78 acres in Forest Reserve, with an estimated $20,000 in standing timber value. The timber transitions from dense buck brush to open canopies, creating bedding sanctuaries and bowhunting pinch points. Two seasonal creeks wind through the property, fed by Hickory Creek, enhancing wildlife movement. There is an isolated pond in the SW corner of the property that screams mature deer core area. A mowed trail system provides quiet access across the property, ideal for stand entry and game recovery.
This property has not been hunted in over 5 years, and sits within a proven big buck corridor. Neighboring farms have produced trophy whitetails, including bucks grossing over 220" last season.
A Recreational Farm with Long-Term Investment Value
Whether you're looking to chase mature whitetails this fall, invest in productive southern Iowa ground, or hold land with long-term value, this property offers multiple layers of return. It checks the boxes: habitat diversity, strong income, easy access, low hunting pressure, and a location in the heart of Iowa's best big buck region.
