This Missouri rural property located in one of the Iowa border counties is highly sought-after. This 160 +/- acres in Mercer County sits just five miles from Iowa, east of the town of Mercer. The combination land use farm offers exceptional hunting, farming, ranching, and build site opportunities. There are currently 60 +/- tillable acres under a cash rent contract for 2025 with a solid tenant in place. At $185/acre, the $11,100 annual payment will be paid out with the first half on May 1st, and the second half on December 1st. The farm has been in a consistent corn and soybean crop rotation to foster optimal soil health. Years ago, the farm was set up for grazing cattle. And with some cleanup, the pastures could be reclaimed for grazing and haying once again. There is a 40'x50' shed that is still serviceable for storage or livestock.
Land never stays the same and is constantly evolving when left undisturbed. Over the years, this farm has been transitioning into stages of early successional growth, with brush, hardwood, and cedar trees, native grasses, and forbs. This is exactly the preferred habitat that whitetail deer flourish in. An aerial map only tells part of the story when it comes to wildlife utilization. These overgrown areas of the farm are holding a lot of bedding deer. With rolling terrain featured throughout the farm, the brushy, wooly low areas have become incredible whitetail travel corridors. The higher points of the property between the crops and the travel corridors make tremendous ambush sites for hunting. With a road on the north and east perimeter of the property, access is never an issue, regardless of wind direction. All hunting blinds and stands on the farm will convey with the sale.
The views throughout this property are outstanding. With a stocked pond near the northwest corner, this would make an excellent build site for a home or cabin. Both electric and rural water are available at the road, so establishing them here will be very cost effective. This is a beautiful farm, but a true appreciation of it must be experienced in person to truly see what it offers. Please contact David Brothers at (660) 240-3243 to schedule a tour.
