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 348.73 +/- 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 grainplots 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. For a full day showing, call Land Agent Nick Skinner or Luke Skinner. Buyers must be qualified and will be asked to show proof of funds.

The entire acreage being offered for sale is enrolled in the WEP (Wetland Easement Program). Most of the rights tothe property have been conveyed to the US Government with the landowner reserving the right to hunt, quiet enjoyment, and to care for the property. The owner is also responsible for paying the real estate taxes on this farm. This farm borders beautiful Stephens state Forest which is a rather undeveloped forest when compared to most. Trophy whitetail buck and turkey are abundant throughout this area and the rather poor accessibility off the main road of the Stephens State Forest makes this tract even more desirable. This one merits your serious consideration.
Note: This farm is bisected by a railroad. Both parcels will sell together as one unit.
