Decatur County Hunting and Investment Land for Sale

Description

Located
in Leon, Iowa, in highly sought-after Decatur County, this farm
offers a strong combination of trophy deer hunting, upland bird habitat, and
reliable CRP income. Just east of I-35, it’s an easy one-hour drive from Des
Moines.

The property includes 181.16
acres enrolled in Pheasant/Quail CRP, generating $25,749 annually
through 9/30/2031. Management and wildlife habitat have been enhanced
with 15+ acres of clover firebreaks, providing both food sources
and easier control of warm-season grasses.

This farm is in
a well-managed hunting neighborhood with high-quality neighbors. It
includes two Grizzly blinds on strategic food plots, plus two
additional bowhunting plots. Hunting pressure has been minimal, with two
notable bucks harvested: 164” archery in 2023 and 182”
early muzzleloader in 2024. A strong trail camera history supports the
farm’s potential.

The terrain
consists of tall warm-season grasses (Indian grass, big
bluestem, and switchgrass), along with three ponds providing
water throughout the property. Timbered draws feature mature hardwoods and
scattered cedars.

There are multiple
building sites with utilities, overlooking the Grand River. Little
River Lake, Wildlife Area, and Slip Bluff Campground are all within
five miles.Seller Stephen
