| 154± ACRES | MONROE COUNTY, IOWA Some farms have deer. Others are designed to hold them. Welcome to the 154± acres in Monroe County, Iowa—a property purchased and developed around one simple principle: make this farm the safest place in the neighborhood for mature whitetails. And the neighborhood is what makes this property special. THE POWER OF ISOLATION This farm sits as a timbered oasis surrounded by hundreds of acres of open agricultural ground. The neighboring hunting pressure is barely there—but getting that pressure to the boundary of this farm is another story. Hunters to the west must cross more than 650 yards of wide-open agricultural fields just to reach the timber adjoining the property. Access from the southwest is similarly difficult, while the property to the north becomes especially challenging to hunt during the cold-front north and northwest winds that produce some of the best mature-buck movement of the season. The result is exactly what this farm was designed to capitalize on: When surrounding hunting pressure increases, the 154 only gets better. After crops come out and neighboring hunters begin entering their properties, deer have every reason to gravitate toward the security, timber and food found on the 154. THE WOODLOT BETWEEN TWO FOOD SOURCES At the heart of the property is a strategically positioned woodlot sitting between two major food sources. Corn and soybeans are rotated seasonally, providing destination food while keeping the property’s setup dynamic from year to year. The real advantage is what happens between those food sources. Deer continually travel back and forth through the central woodlot, creating predictable movement through four intentionally designed pinch points. Box blinds have been strategically positioned to take advantage of these crossings while minimizing unnecessary pressure on the property. During the fall, deer traveling through the farm will commonly encounter one to three of these four pinch points, creating multiple opportunities to intercept mature bucks during daylight. This isn’t simply a property where blinds were placed where deer happened to travel. The farm was designed to influence where deer travel. SOUTHERN ACCESS CHANGES EVERYTHING One of the 154’s greatest advantages is its southern access. Mature-buck properties are often compromised before the hunter ever reaches the stand. Here, the access allows hunters to approach strategically while leaving the heart of the property undisturbed. Combine that with difficult neighboring access, surrounding agricultural fields, multiple food sources and a protected central woodlot, and you have a property capable of holding deer throughout the year while becoming even more attractive as hunting pressure increases around it. THE CASITA & POND The property also includes a small casita overlooking a newly constructed pond. The cabin currently has no electrical service, giving the next owner a blank canvas for creating an off-grid hunting retreat. A solar setup could be a natural fit, and the back deck provides direct access to the pond. It is a simple, private setting that could become an exceptional hunting camp or weekend getaway. LOCATION The 154 is tucked away on a dead-end road between Albia and Moravia, Iowa, providing the privacy serious recreational landowners look for. Rathbun Lake is only minutes away, adding nearby fishing, boating and lodging opportunities. But the biggest attraction is right outside the cabin door. 154± acres. Southern access. Two destination food sources. A central woodlot. Four designed pinch points. Limited neighboring access. And a property built to become more secure as hunting pressure increases. There is a reason they were going to name the 154 Hotel California. Once the bucks check in, they have very little reason to leave.
