Recreational Land & Farm for Sale in Cantril, Iowa
Gray Ave, Cantril, IA 52542
This remarkable 169+/- acre farm stands out as one of the most consistent trophy producers in the region. Year after year, the current owner has successfully targeted and harvested the buck he set out for-proof of the property's ability to grow and hold mature whitetails with outstanding genetics. What was once an overgrown cattle operation has been thoughtfully transformed over the past two decades into a true deer haven. Even with no road frontage, access is seamless and stealthy from the southeast corner, where natural cover and topography allow quiet entry. A well-planned trail system, complete with strategic creek crossings, makes navigating the entire farm easy and quiet with an off-road vehicle. The farm features ~58 acres of productive row crop, divided into six distinct fields, offering flexible stand options for any wind direction. Several proven "honey holes" have consistently produced multiple trophy bucks-these key locations and insights will be shared with the new owner, so you can hit the ground running. Mature natural cover blankets the property, enhanced by established chestnut trees producing nuts in prime locations that keep deer concentrated. Simply put, you won't find a better-managed, more reliable hunting farm. Don't miss this rare opportunity-take a look before it's gone. *Additional tracts available*
