Recreational Land & Farm for Sale in Cantril, Iowa
Gray Ave, Cantril, IA 52542
Whitetail Mecca - 146+/- secluded acres of elite Iowa hunting land, renowned for producing mature bucks consistently. What makes this farm so special is its proven track record: with multiple 170-180", this farm can not only grow giant deer but hold them to maturity. What started out as an overrun cattle farm with little to no habitat, where the big bucks would simply pass through, fast forward 20 years of rigorous management-thousands of hours invested in habitat improvements: diverse tree plantings, enhanced bedding/cover, TSI, food plots, efficient trail systems, and strategic ambush points. Eastern access, with the perfect natural topography allows for stealthy entry. Income potential: ~64 acres tillable (corn/soybean rotation, available for custom farming 2026); 5.44 acres CRP ($1,285/year until 2035). Bonus pursuits: abundant turkey, shed hunting, and spring morel mushrooms. Rare, fully optimized turnkey property-once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don't miss this opportunity to own and enjoy a true whitetail paradise! *ADDITIONAL LAND AROUND THIS FARM IS AVAILABLE**
