Exceptional Lucas County Hunting Farm With Big Timber, Tillable, and CRP
This 283 +/- acre Lucas County, Iowa property has everything a serious whitetail hunter is looking for in a farm. Big, mature timber with beautiful ridgetops, tons of edge, tillable acres, CRP, and a year-round creek create an outstanding and diverse habitat. Surrounded by agricultural fields and being one of the biggest blocks of timer in the area, not only does this property attract big whitetails, it has the capacity and ingredients to hold and grow them as well. Extensive timber management practices have allowed for an increased growth rate and potential value of the younger trees, improved cover and food sources for woodland wildlife, and increased numbers of desirable tree species on the property.

Extensive timber management practices have allowed for an increased growth rate and potential value of the younger trees, improved cover and food sources for woodland wildlife, and increased numbers of desirable tree species on the property. Beautiful stands of red and white oaks, hickory, and walnuts are scattered throughout the property and it has earned the designation as a certified tree farm as well. The sanctuary locations with minimal disturbances over the years have created a safe haven for whitetails and the amount of deer sign on the farm is incredible. Miles of edge cover allow for dynamite stand locations and awesome areas to hunt the countless scrapes. Fingers of crop and CRP are excellent food plot locations and dynamite kill zones.
The farm has a proven tract record of success, as seen in the harvest and trail camera photos. With the QDM, conservation, and stewardship practices that have been in place throughout the years, the landowners have seen increased deer, turkey, and upland game numbers. A new 83.85 acre CRP contract has been approved and includes prairie restoration and habitat improvement plans, not your typical brome. An additional 22 +/- acres of open row crop could be cropped for additional income or planted in food plots. Just looking at the aerial, you know this is one serious hunting property. It is one of the best southern Iowa farms I have been on. If you are in the market for a premier hunting property within an hour of Des Moines, you owe it to yourself to take a look at this one in person!
