Property Info

Description

Located in the heart of big buck country and just minutes from Rathbun Lake, this 214 acre Lucas County, Iowa farm offers spectacular views of the wildlife from the back deck of the rustic log home, income producing acres and many other recreational opportunities.

The farm consists of 214.6 surveyed acres and will be offered in three individual tracts and then as a combination of the entire farm. With 172.06 total FSA Cropland Acres carrying an average CSR2 of 48.9 on the tillable acres with 110 acres m/l currently being farmed in a corn and bean rotation, this unique property offers good income for the area and plenty of food and habitat to produce mature bucks.

Most deer hunters know that the keys to producing big bucks are the following: genetics, food and habitat. This farm has all 3 of them!  According to the latest Iowa DNR records, Lucas County has produced many trophy whitetail bucks including: #1 Shotgun Typical, #2 Shotgun Non-Typical, #5 Bow Non-Typical, #6 Crossbow Non-Typical and #8 Handgun Typical. The #33 Bow Typical was harvested on THIS FARM!

Most hunters rely on “funnels” to harvest big bucks and this farm is full of natural funnels by way of timbered draws. The combination of hardwood and red cedar trees along the ditches provide adequate bedding areas for the local deer herd. The lay of this property allows hunters to access stand locations from either the north or south boundaries, which is critical with changing wind directions. There is 1 large pond and 2 smaller ponds on this farm that are stocked with walleye, channel catfish, crappie and other varieties of panfish and provide water to the deer even in drought conditions like 2017.

Make plans and view this exceptional property today! Contact the auctioneer for more information or to schedule a private showing. Exclusive hunting rights will be given to successful buyer(s) once all documents are signed day of auction, earnest money collected and proof of insurance naming this farm is provided to seller and auctioneer.
