This 162 +/- acre property is located in northern Clarke County, Iowa, and is within 30 miles of Des Moines. From country living with breathtaking views to giant deer, this property has it all! The property is full of diversity with creek-bottom CRP fields, rolling pastures, mature timber, and numerous water sources. The 71.58 +/- bottomland CRP acres primarily consist of Zook silty clay loam and Nodaway silt loam soils with a CSR2 of 71.4. The CRP stand is impressive with many of the native grasses being 6’+ tall. The CRP consists of two separate contracts - 22.17 +/- acres paying $212.65/acre through 9/30/2025 and 49.41 +/- acres paying $223.99/acre through 9/30/2027. The annual CRP income is $15,781.
The diverse habitat on this property creates some of the best whitetail deer and turkey hunting that Iowa is known for! The property is full of deer sign along with an impressive documented trail camera history. I spotted 20+ deer and a flock of turkeys while taking photos. This area of southern Iowa is known for consistently producing quality deer and this farm sits right in the heart of a fantastic neighborhood. In addition to the hunting opportunities, approximately 60 +/- acres of fenced pasture and timber provide an ideal setup for horses, livestock, and/or hobby farming enthusiasts.
The property also boasts a 1,320 square foot 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with a 1,300 square foot finished basement. The views from the kitchen, living room, and back porch are simply incredible! The owner reports regularly seeing deer and turkeys just off the back of the house! The property also has a 48’x62’ steel pole building, a 400-square-foot utility building, and a lean-to in the horse pasture. Utilities include electricity, rural water, septic, and propane.
