Elite Southeast Iowa Hunting Estate- The Ultimate Sportsman's Playground

This extraordinary 500-acre Southeast Iowa estate is a once-in-a-lifetime offering — where world-class hunting, refined living, and unmatched amenities unite to create a retreat that is truly one-of-a-kind. At its foundation lies some of the finest hunting ground in the Midwest. Managed under a premier deer management program, the land has been carefully curated for decades to produce trophy whitetails and thriving wildlife. Rolling hardwood timber, rich soil, and strategically placed food plots provide year-round nutrition and ideal habitat. Every acre has been designed with precision to deliver consistent results while ensuring long-term sustainability — a true sportsman’s paradise. Designed with both habitat health and hunting success in mind, the property is outfitted with premium Redneck and Rutted Up Blinds, two Vail/Crush Feeders, six strategically placed water tubs, and an extensive switchgrass and screening system that ensures both security for wildlife and stealth for the hunter. Comprehensive timber stand improvement has been executed under the guidance of a forester and whitetail biologist, including a prescribed burn regimen to maximize growth, regeneration, and long-term sustainability. The woods themselves are a sportsman’s dream — beautiful, expansive, and offering massive amounts of natural cover for thriving whitetails and abundant wildlife. Complementing the land are three large 20,000 gallon stone-lined ponds that bring both character and practicality to the farm. These expansive water sources serve as a dependable water supply for wildlife and create a natural draw for trophy whitetails and other game. A sizeable, all-season trail system provides seamless access across the farm, connecting to meticulously planted food plots. These plots feature a diverse array of high-quality forage, including Enogen corn, soybeans, clover, alfalfa, pollinator mixes, Roundup Ready sugar beets, and multiple varieties of brassicas and bulb mixes. Every field has been grid soil-tested, with amendments applied to optimize fertility and ensure unmatched productivity. The result is a premier whitetail property that blends science, strategy, and natural beauty into a world-class hunting experience. This is not just managed land — it is a carefully curated sanctuary, unmatched in quality and distinction. At the heart of the property stands a custom six-bedroom, five and a half bath primary residence that redefines rustic luxury. A stunning three-sided wraparound porch encircles the home, finished with beautifully crafted stamped concrete for a refined touch. A towering fireplace, constructed from hand laid stone and accented with a solid timber mantle, serves as a focal point for stories shared, meals enjoyed, and memories made after the hunt. Featuring a spacious custom kitchen built with premium finishes and designed for both form and function, this is an entertainers dream. The custom wet bar is a true showpiece creating a space that is as functional as it is striking. Two expansive entertaining great rooms, 2 distinct dining areas, and an exclusive video archery range make this home a destination for both leisure and celebration. For added ease and functionality, the home features 2 separate laundry rooms ideal for handling gear, linens, and everyday essentials. Adding to its impressive amenities is the large walk-in cooler, delivering secure, climate-controlled storage to properly store game after a successful hunt. Among the most unique features are the specialized sporting spaces designed with the avid outdoorsman in mind: a fortified walk-in vault offering secure storage of firearms and valuables, a dedicated gunsmithing area for on-site maintenance, and a private archery shop ideal for tuning bows or honing skills. Rarely found in one property, these additions elevate the primary residence into a complete sanctuary for discerning hunters and outdoor enthusiasts.
