Hard to find small recreational farm with great income in southern Iowa. This 65.5 acre Decatur County tract checks all the boxes. The farm offers excellent habitat diversity with CRP income, hardwood draws, cedar thickets, and a pond, all while sitting in a neighborhood known for producing high quality whitetails.
The current owner has enhanced the property with additional food plots, now totaling five, giving a new owner immediate hunting opportunities. Alongside the food sources, the farm features 52.6 acres enrolled in CRP, providing $8,526 annually through 2027. A hardwood draw cuts through the property, holding a mix of mature timber including walnut, while the north end offers thick cedar cover that makes ideal bedding.
Access from the south and east allows for low-impact entry, making stand setups more effective. Whether youre looking to chase big deer, enjoy weekend recreation, or plan for a future build site, this property delivers. Utilities are nearby, and the hilltop views overlooking the Grand River would make for a beautiful home or cabin location.
Located just south of Grand River, youre within easy driving distance of Leon and less than an hour and a half from Des Moines.
