Description

Located between Leon and Garden Grove, this 120± acre farm sits in a highly sought-after and managed neighborhood of Decatur County, Iowa. Just minutes from I-35 and less than an hour from West Des Moines, it offers a great combination of tillable acres and quality habitat in an area known for consistently producing mature whitetails.

One of the key strengths of this farm is the way it lays out and hunts. Access is from the north, while the farm itself remains completely secluded from the road, providing excellent huntability. Beyond 24 +/- tillable acres, the property consists primarily of south-facing timbered ridges and slopes with mature oaks, walnuts, hickories and scattered cedars, combined with multiple established food plots and orchard trees throughout the farm.

The farm serves as a natural hub for bedding and cover within the section. The combination of timber, secluded habitat, food and limited road exposure gives it substantial holding power throughout the season. The property also features key water sources from both a pond and creek, supporting strong whitetail and turkey populations.

This farm has been under management for more than a decade and has an exceptional track record, including multiple bucks harvested over 170”. Combined with a well-established interior trail system that provides easy access to numerous established stand sites and box blinds.

Several excellent building sites are located along the north side of the property, with utilities readily available at the road, offering plenty of flexibility for a future home, cabin or hunting lodge while preserving the privacy and recreational value of the farm.

Productive tillable acres, dependable water, lots of seclusion and a track record of mature whitetails make this a strong Southern Iowa recreational farm. Combined with a layout built to hunt well, it’s a package that is hard to duplicate on a tract this size.
