This Iowa River property is the ultimate place to enjoy every season, and especially hunting season. With established food plots, a trail system, and excellent deer and turkey habitat, this is a chance to own an affordable river bottom hunting property with year-round recreation. It's located just southeast of the town of Tama in south central Tama County, on the south side of the railroad tracks, and on the north side of the Iowa River.If you're looking for pure recreation, especially hunting and fishing, these river bottoms are absolutely the best bang for your buck. Once you go through the gated entrance, a mowed trail takes you through the property and down to one of the coolest features, a scenic sandbar along the river, a perfect place to fish, camp, and enjoy those summer days by the water. These sandbars are a classic tradition here in the Midwest on hot summer days.This land has a natural composition for hunting with semi-open areas, scattered trees, and tall grasses. Those give you wide views for spotting cruising bucks in the fall and the flocks of turkeys in the spring, while the thicker timber and the tall grass provide ideal bedding cover. There are four food plots that are planted in greens, and these provide a nice attraction to get the deer into bow range in the fall. You'll notice treestands on every one of these food plots. The seller has planted apple, pear, peach, and plum trees in a couple of different parts of the property, and once they mature, they'll offer another food source for the wildlife. The seller has documented some great bucks over the years!The next owner will love this place every season of the year! In the winter, you can spend time trapping here along these trails. In the springtime, aside from turkey hunting, there's going to be a lot of mushrooms that grow here. Of course, in the summer, you'll have the sand bar to get wild on, and then in the fall, its great time to hunt the mature bucks that roam the Iowa River Valley. The taxes last year were $572, making this an affordable place to own, and the asking price per acre is over half less than what a lot of upland hunting property is selling for. It's important to note that the Wetland Conservation Easement prohibits building on the property.These river corridors are some of the best habitats you can find in the Midwest with consistent wildlife potential. What a great opportunity to invest in your own land and enjoy the great outdoors!

If youve been looking for a property where you can consistently hunt wild pheasants, waterfowl, turkeys and whitetails, here is a fantastic opportunity!This 80-acre tract sits on the west edge of Otter Creek Marsh WMA, just west of Chelsea, Iowa, in southern Tama County. The location is practical and easy to reach, just a half mile south of Highway 30 and within an hour of both Ames and Cedar Rapids. The land is enrolled in a permanent wetland conservation easement, protecting the habitat long-term and keeping it undisturbed. That protection has resulted in a strong wild pheasant population, regular waterfowl use, vocal spring gobblers and solid whitetail numbers. The property directly connects to thousands of acres of Otter Creek Marsh public land, allowing you to hunt and explore well beyond the boundary lines.Habitat diversity is the defining feature. Tall native grasses, including Indian grass, big bluestem and switchgrass, dominate the landscape, along with shallow ponds and wetland areas, bottomland timber, brushy fencelines and an established alfalfa food plot that provides a reliable food source. While filming the property, pheasants were flushing consistently from the tall grass.Its also a strong setting for introducing new hunters to the outdoors. The owner has enjoyed this property with friends and family for years, not just for hunting but for beekeeping and spending time on the land. Properties with legitimate wild pheasant potential, direct adjacency to a major WMA, and quick Highway 30 access rarely come available. If youre looking for a hunting property with great wild pheasant hunting, waterfowl, turkey and whitetail opportunity, this one deserves serious consideration.Contact Land Specialist Ben Harshyne with Whitetail Properties Real Estate for a private tour.

This 90-acre farm sits in the majestic rolling hills above the Iowa River, in an area known for its beauty and strong whitetail country. With a mix of income acres, pasture, timber, and brush, it lies out naturally for both recreation and mixed-use investment.The farm includes 29 acres of CRP enrolled through 2033, paying $255/acre for an annual income of $7,565. The CRP fields are tall and thick, with excellent stands of native grass that not only generate income but also provide valuable cover and wildlife habitat. Theres also a 9-acre crop field that could add a little more income if you rent it out. From the gravel road, the property is mostly hidden thanks to this dense screening from the native grasses and crops, giving it a private feel. In the middle, there is 30 acres of pasture that has two ridges and two draws, and the remaining 23 acres of brushy timber round out the diversity.For hunters, the potential here is easy to see. The north CRP field stretches west and borders adjoining timber, making it a natural food plot site. The deer sign is already evident, and with a food source in place, this area would become a reliable hunting setup. On the south end, a winding trail leads back to an old hunting blind overlooking a secluded bottom. This section is a thick bedding area that has produced consistent deer activity for years. A small pond is already in place, but the deep ravines across the property create opportunities for building a larger pond in the future.This farm has great bones because of its layout and location. Its naturally a good hunting property, but for a buyer who wants a project farm, the habitat improvements and development potential here are exciting. The diversity of income, agriculture, and timber will appeal to a wide range of buyers. And for those who want to build, there are several attractive sites with westerly views from the high road. All of this sits less than a mile from the hard surface road connecting Chelsea and Belle Plaine.Contact listing agent Ben Harshyne with Whitetail Properties Real Estate if youre interested.
