Wayne County, Iowa – High-income Crp Farm Big Deer History & Pond

Description

Located less than 50 miles from Des Moines, this property offers a rare
combination of strong income, high-quality wildlife habitat, and excellent
recreational features. With over $30,000 annually in CRP income, a proven track
record for giant whitetails, and an 8-acre lake, this farm checks every box.

Don’t let the absence of big timber fool you—this is a true big buck
sanctuary. In the 2024 season, two bucks scoring in the mid-180s and near
200″ were captured on trail camera here and later harvested by neighbors.
Photos and official scores are available.

The farm includes 4 acres of electric-fenced food plots, designed to provide
dependable late-season hunting opportunities. CRP cover consists of tall
warm-season grasses including Big Bluestem, Indian Grass, and
Switchgrass—excellent bedding habitat for deer and strong upland bird potential
for pheasant and quail hunters.

At the heart of the property is a clear, 8-acre lake over 20 feet deep,
stocked with largemouth bass, bluegill, and catfish—ideal for year-round
enjoyment.

Additional improvements include new fencing along more than half of the
property’s boundary, including the road frontage. In the 2024 and 2025 spring
seasons, the owner planted over 1,200 trees to establish future thermal cover
and wildlife habitat. All CRP maintenance (MCM) work has been completed under
the current contract.

While this property offers world-class hunting opportunities and investment
potential, the seller is motivated due to a current lack of access to a
non-resident deer license.
