Located in eastern Clarke County just
north of Woodburn, this 158-acre income and recreational farm offers a
strong combination of annual income and quality southern Iowa hunting. The
property sits just ¼ mile off Highway 34 on a gravel road and is
conveniently located 8.5 miles from Osceola, 10.5 miles from Interstate 35,
and approximately 45 miles from Des Moines.
The farm features a desirable mix of CRP,
row crop, and wildlife habitat. There are 88.11 acres enrolled in CRP
through 2033, generating $15,666 annually, while 49.58 acres of
row crop carry a 55.8 CSR2 average and are currently leased at $240
per acre, producing $11,900 annually through the next two seasons.
Together, the farm generates $27,566 in annual income, providing
reliable income while maintaining excellent recreational value. The CRP acres consist of rolling
ground that is ideally suited for conservation cover and provide outstanding
bedding habitat for wildlife. Designated food plot locations are already
established within the CRP, allowing a future owner to enhance hunting
opportunities while maintaining the CRP contract.
This farm sits in a highly regarded
southern Iowa hunting region near the Clarke and Lucas County line, an area
well known for producing quality whitetail deer. The property lies at the start
of a natural travel corridor, helping funnel deer movement through the
farm. Thick CRP cover provides excellent bedding habitat, while several timbered
draws and drainage ditches create natural travel routes and pinch points
throughout the property.
In addition to strong deer hunting
potential, the habitat also supports healthy pheasant populations,
making this an attractive recreational property for multiple seasons.
A 0.75-acre pond provides an
additional water source for wildlife and adds to the overall appeal of the
farm. Utilities are available along the road, offering the opportunity for a future
building site if desired.
The farm has previously been leased
for hunting at $25 per acre, creating the potential for approximately $3,950
in additional annual income if a new owner chooses to continue a hunting
lease.
Whether you are looking for a recreational
farm with strong income, a hunting property in a proven southern Iowa corridor,
or a long-term land investment, this Clarke County farm offers an excellent
balance of income, habitat, and location.
