Description

Combo Hunting/Recreation & Tillable Iowa Farmland/CRP tract in Ringgold County, Iowa with multiple build sites that have beautiful southern Iowa views in every direction. 

If you're looking for a combo tract with good southern Iowa Deer hunting, investment farm income and multiple nice building sites, give me a call to set up a showing of this property in Ringgold County, Iowa. There are 123.47 gross acres, 121.47 net acres, and 115.22 taxable acres w/6.25 acres in the Forest Reserve program

There are 85 +/- overall tillable acres. 78.7 acres are currently in CRP (cp1) with a weighted CSR2 average of 46 paying $11,548/year and expiring in 2022. The quote for CRP renewal (cp2) is $16,477/year (approx. $209/acre). Or if you'd like to take it out of CRP and farm it, that is a great option is well. There are an additional approximately 7 tillable acres that are not enrolled in CRP and could be farmed or would make good potential food plot locations. The CRP program quoted for renewal also allows for food plots.

This property is a great conservation success story. Purchased by the current landowner over 30 years ago, the property was primarily prairie at the time. The landowner and his son planted thousands of trees at that time, and the property now has some of the best South facing, evergreen thermal cover in the neighborhood. 

There are approximately 25 acres of wooded and brushy areas, but don't be deceived by the relatively small ratio of woods to open acres. The property has a massive amount of deer sign and presence (see photos and video). Very limited hunting has been allowed, but several nice bucks have been taken over the years. Deer footage in the video is from my trail cams in February, 2022. Most of the bucks had already shed their antlers, but I got pictures of at least 3 different shed bucks that I estimated to be 5 1/2+. With the addition of some food plots, this property would not only house deer through the Winter but feed them too, and likely draw in others from surrounding properties as well. There are deer trails, buck rubs, and abundant sign criss-crossing the property in every direction. The landowner has also said he sees turkeys almost every time he visits the property, has seen quail and has heard pheasant on the property.

If you're a fisherman, there are 3 different ponds on the property including a 4 acre lake, all of which have been stocked in the past. The 4 acre lake in particular has great bass, crappie and catfish fishing! This property would also be great for horseback riding, and has good Morel mushroom hunting too.

Showings by appointment only. For more information or to set up a private showing, text or call Land Specialist Joshua Flournoy at (641) 203-9427.
