If you’re looking for a weekend getaway that features hunting & fishing opportunities, while providing you an annual income, this could be the property for you. This 31.5 m/l acre tract of land is located in Decatur County, IA just off of I-35 on paved county Hwy J20. The farm features a beautiful stocked pond, & a diverse mix of hedge, cedars, thick overgrown field edge, & crop acres. With the diversity of habitat, this property offers many hunting opportunities throughout the fall, winter, and spring, as well as fishing for the family and friends in the summer. For the serious whitetail hunter, you’ll know that Decatur County is one of the most sought-after areas of Iowa for hunting land. The surrounding large blocks of timber and CRP hold some giant whitetails, which travel through this farm for access to the crops and alfalfa on the adjacent property. It sets up perfectly for hunting the whitetail on the food to bed travel routes as well as when they stop off at the pond for water. In addition to the recreational aspects of the property, the farm also features approximately 17 Crop acres, which are cash rented for the 2024 crop year at $160/acre. That is approximately $2,700 of annual income that can be used to offset taxes and invest back into any improvements you may want to make to the property, such as a fishing dock. Additionally, there are about 3.6 additional FSA crop acres that could be put into production, for someone that is more investment minded.

If you’ve been looking for a top-notch whitetail hunting farm in a highly managed area, do not overlook this property. This tract of land is located just West of Lineville, IA among some of the most sought-after hunting properties in the country. Not only does this area have some of the best genetics in the state, a majority of the land is held in huge continuous tracts. There are thousands of acres under strict management exclusively for top end trophy deer. Stories of the giants that lurk around this area have been very well documented. Every year, there are 200” deer harvested in the immediate area, with 3 just this year alone. The access on this farm is about as good as it gets, with entry from either the North or South boundaries. The North is bordered by county road J66 (paved), & the South has access off of Apricot Street (gravel). The rolling nature of the property allows for strategic access routes which makes this property feasible to hunt on any wind, all throughout the year. Approximately 57 acres of the property are in CRP, which generates approximately $8,769/year to offset taxes & pay for improvements. In addition to the great hunting, there is a small cabin nestled deep into the East 80 acres of the property, ideal for long weekend retreats. The cabin is a single room, w/ a single bathroom, small kitchen, & 3 beds. It has an electric heat & A/C unit, as well as a small wood stove. The smaller bunkhouse has electric heat, A/C, & sleeps 4 with two bunk beds.

This tract is located just south of Van Wert, Iowa, in Decatur County. The land is over 80% income producing, with the balance in timbered draws, ideal for funneling whitetails. Approximately 29 acres of the farm are considered FSA farmable, subject to reconstitution by the USDA office. For 2024, the farm is leased at a rate of $160 per planted acre, generating approximately $4,600 of income. For diversity, the farm is split between row crop and alfalfa, with the alfalfa being located primarily in the Northwest portion of the farm. The large ridgetop in the Southeast corner as well as the low-lying areas in the central draw of the farm all produced healthy beans for 2023. Currently, cattle are not turned out on the property. For the hunter’s considerations, this property has recently been improved with a new large solid sided enclosed Redneck hunting blind, on a 10’ tall platform. The blind sits on the Northeast corner of a standing soybean food plot, that is approximately 2 acres in size. Given the thick CRP and overgrown pasture to the South and immediately to the West, and the history of whitetails taken in this area of Decatur County, I expect this to be a fantastic late season hunting setup. Additionally, the timbered draws running throughout the property create multiple pinch points that would be ideal for catching deer heading back and forth between the food on this property and the bedding to the South as well.

The hilltop location offers great views for a potential home or cabin, and the easy access to I-35 makes travel to the city very convenient.
