168± acres located in a stretch of Monroe County where
long-standing livestock producers and top-end cattle operations have shaped the
land for generations—and where the same habitat also supports some of the
county’s most consistent whitetail hunting. Surrounded by large, predominantly
contiguous landowners, the property benefits from stability and habitat
management practices that support mature deer year after year.
This farm features a versatile mix of terrain and habitat
types, including rolling timbered draws, dense edge cover, CRP native grasses,
and pockets of open ground. These elements work together to create natural
travel corridors and multiple ideal hunting setups. With 101.98 acres enrolled
in three separate CRP contracts, this property generates an annual income of
$18,898. The open fields suitable for hay/crop production and strategically
placed food plots enhance both utility and wildlife attraction.
Located within 1/4 mile of paved Hwy 34, this tract offers
excellent options for a home or cabin with scenic views of the southern Iowa
landscape—near Georgetown and Melrose, an area known for its deep-rooted
productive cattle country, strong agricultural ground, and consistent top-tier
wildlife populations.
It is rare to find properties of this caliber in such a
well-regarded neighborhood, and tracts offering this level of habitat diversity
and income seldom hit the market. This property provides a well-rounded
combination of recreational opportunity, reliable income, quality deer and
turkey hunting, and desirable building sites in a highly sought-after Southern
Iowa location.Key Features
