This is a great opportunity to own a recreational farm with income less than 45 minutes from downtown Des Moines! Situated in the Middle Raccoon River watershed, this farm produces solid annual yields and grows big whitetails. Combination farms that provide strong income per tillable acre and have great deer, turkey and mushroom hunting sell very quickly this close to the rapidly growing Des Moines Metro market. I have sold other farms in the immediate area and personally hunt this part of the county. I believe it to be one of the best neighborhoods of like-minded deer managers around. If you’re looking to purchase your first farm or add to your current land holdings, give me a call to schedule a showing. Showings will be by appointment only.
