TBD Hill Blvd, Drakesville, IA 52552 - Davis County

With an aerial map that looks nearly perfect for northerly winds, this farm in southeast Iowa is built for whitetail hunting. Located a few miles west of Highway 63, which connects Ottumwa and Bloomfield, it has a layout for which even the most particular buyers have been waiting.Access is from the south off Hill Blvd, where a tall wall of mature Kanlow switchgrass and Giant Miscanthus runs along the road, screening the property interior. A barrier like this takes years to establish, yet it is already done. The first field, about 6.5 acres, is in a J shapestretching north along the east side, perfect for a hidden food plot, and extending northwest, creating a natural funnel.Moving into the heart of the farm, the setup gets even stronger. West of the J field, a tooth-shaped clover plot sits against an old tree line, a dynamite ambush spot for catching bucks in archery season. There is also a similar kill plot off the north tip of the J field. Entry and exit into these stands are perfect for northerly and westerly winds.At the center of the property, a well-placed blind overlooks 13 acres of food6 acres to the west and 7 to the north. Historically, this area has been planted with variety to offer a season-long food source, but if income is a priority, about 20 acres could go into crops.This farm produces mature bucks every year, proven by years of trail camera history. Oak timber ridges and ditches, cedar thickets along the field edges, two ponds, and grassy hillsides provide excellent habitat, while the rugged terrain helps funnel deer into specific areas. The turkey population is excellent here as well, and you should have no problem getting a spring Tom on this farm.Rural water and electricity run along the road, making it a great option for a future build. Taxes in 2024 were $536. For a 100-acre farm, this place should hunt so well.
