Turn Key Hunting Farm - 190+/- Ac with lodge near Des Moines IA
This property is the definition of a turn key Iowa hunting farm. It has it all southern Iowa has to offer as far as habitat. And it has a beautiful and functional furnished lodge that could serve as a permanent home or a hunting getaway. Farm is in an excellent area with high numbers of deer and turkeys. The area is known for trophy whitetails and top notch whitetail genetics. Proof is in the pudding as this property produced a 212\\" giant whitetail in 2001 (see pics and video). THe farm consists of large stands of mature timber, thick brushy draws, 32+/- acres of tillable/hay/food plots, cedar patches and grass. From the south, heavyily timbered ridges overlook a winding creek and the tillable bottoms. From the north, the lodge is on a ridge overlooks the creek bottom and timber and to the east of the lodge lies a ridgetop tillable field currently planted to beans. One of the things that makes this farm turn key is that the food plots along the creek are all left standing for the wildlife. In addition, there are 6 deluxe blinds strategically placed for excellent hunting setups. These standing plots will hold deer and draw in deer from all surrounding areas late season. The blinds are high quality name brand blinds with comfortable chairs, power for phone charging, heat, and easy to open windows. The timber consists of many hardwoods but there are a SIGNIFICANT amount of black walnuts throughout. This ads significant value to the investment. There is also a 200 acre hunting lease potentially available adjacent to farm. Lodge was built in 2021 and has many high quality features (see below). It is 2 bedrooms (easily could add a third) and 1 1/2 baths. It is a custom metal building with a nice living space, a garage portion, and a large lean to/covered porch area.
