154± acres in Monroe County, Iowa, designed to create a secure environment for mature whitetails. This timbered oasis is surrounded by open agricultural ground with limited neighboring hunting access. Hunters to the west must cross more than 650 yards of open fields to reach adjoining timber, while access from the southwest is also difficult. A central woodlot sits between two major food sources, with corn and soybeans rotated seasonally. Four strategically designed pinch points funnel deer movement between these food sources, with box blinds positioned to capitalize on predictable travel while minimizing pressure. Southern access allows hunters to approach strategically while keeping the heart of the property undisturbed. As surrounding hunting pressure increases, deer have even more reason to seek the security, timber and food this farm provides. The property also includes a small casita overlooking a newly constructed pond. The cabin has no electrical service, offering a blank canvas for an off-grid hunting retreat, with a back deck overlooking the water. Located on a dead-end road between Albia and Moravia, the property offers privacy while remaining minutes from Rathbun Lake. With southern access, two destination food sources, a central woodlot, four pinch points and limited neighboring access, this farm is built to hold mature bucks.
