Van Buren County - TBD Willow Rd, Stockport, IA
Located in the rolling hills above Cedar Creek between Hillsboro and Round Prairie, this 67 acre farm offers an excellent opportunity to own a well-managed hunting property in northeast Van Buren County. The farm has been thoughtfully improved over the years with established food plots, quality access, diverse habitat, and annual CRP income, making it a property that's ready to enjoy from day one. The largest food plot is located near the northwest portion of the farm beside a small timber pond. The combination of food and water creates a natural destination for wildlife throughout the season; this plot is about 4.5 acres. Another smaller food plot, about 0.3 acres, is in the timber on the northeast ridgetop. Current plantings include soybeans, clover, and brassicas, and the existing setup has produced consistent deer activity. A trail system enters from the northwest corner and provides quiet access to the interior of the property without disturbing the primary bedding areas. The same corner also offers a practical location for a future cabin or home if a building site is desired. The remainder of the farm consists of mature hardwood timber with rolling terrain, south-facing slopes, and well-defined travel corridors. A selective timber harvest completed last year removed mature white oaks and opened areas that are already beginning to regenerate into excellent bedding cover, adding even more habitat value for the future. Approximately 11 acres are enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program, consisting of native grasses, forbs, and a pollinator mix. Besides improving wildlife habitat and creating excellent transition cover, the CRP contract provides approximately $2,600 in annual income. Trail camera history from both the current owner and the previous owner provides years of documented deer activity, showing the consistency of the area. In addition to deer hunting, the property offers excellent spring morel mushroom hunting, and Native American artifacts have been discovered in the sandy ravine along the southeast portion of the farm. Whether you're looking for your first hunting property or wanting to add another farm to your portfolio, this tract offers a strong combination of habitat, income, proven hunting history, and recreational opportunities in one of southeast Iowa's well-known whitetail regions.
