Est $5,237/mo

Located just Southwest of Dows, Iowa, this premier North-Central Iowa recreational property offers an incredible mix of conservation, habitat, and opportunity. Enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), the land is established with native grasses that provide top-quality upland bird habitat.

The result is phenomenal pheasant hunting that makes this farm truly stand out.

In addition to the CRP acres, 19.46 +/- crop acres are share cropped with a local farmer. This land could continue to provide rental income, or it could be dedicated exclusively to wildlife food plots to further enhance the hunting and recreational appeal. The current annual income from two separate CRP contracts totals $12,800, which are set to expire in 2029 and

2030.

The property also features multiple ponds that offer excellent fishing opportunities and potential waterfowl hunting. In addition, deer frequently use this property, as a direct result of the limited cover available in this area. This farm is a true multi-species hunting destination!

Adding to its versatility, this tract provides access from both the east and west ends, making entry and management easy in all seasons. On-site improvements include a metal pole building and livestock barn which are ideal for storing food plot equipment, hunting gear, or easily converting into a fully functional hunting camp.

Conveniently located just a short drive off Interstate 35, the farm is an easy commute from multiple cities while still offering the privacy and seclusion outdoor enthusiasts value. This would make an excellent home or shop building location located one mile off pavement.

This 138.66 +/- acre tract is a sportsman's paradise and a one-of-a-kind opportunity in North-Central Iowa. With its combination of premier pheasant hunting, fishing, potential waterfowl hunting, established habitat, deer activity, income-producing CRP, tillable acres, and usable outbuildings, it is the perfect destination for sportsmen, families, or anyone seeking a unique recreational retreat. Locating a similar farm in this immediate area will be an extremely difficult task!
