Timber, Hunting Land with WRP Grows and Holds Iowa Bucks

This 520 +/- acre Whitetail Mecca in Van Buren County, Iowa, is truly a rare find. Properties of this size and caliber are nearly impossible to find on the market. In addition to the size, this property has everything needed to grow and hold the huge mature bucks that have made Iowa famous.

The property line on the southwesterly side is the Fox River, providing a year-round water source. The old fields coming off of the river are lined by drainage ditches that are surrounded by mature timber and the fields themselves consist of large pockets of 15-30′ tall oaks and large cedar trees.

There are just over 15 acres of food plots on the hunting land currently in corn, brassicas, and clover. In addition to the food plots, there is an 18 acre field of newly seeded alfalfa providing great tonnage to feed the deer, keeping them healthy and on the farm throughout the year. There is approximately 25 acres of old pasture that could be converted to additional food or habitat.

The timberland consists of oak, walnut, and hickory hardwoods with several pockets of thick cedar areas providing a lot of edge throughout the timber. There is a very high number of walnut trees that are approximately 10 years from a responsible harvest with the potential for hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth at that time.

Of the total acres, 216 acres are enrolled in the Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) which has grown into incredible mature buck holding cover. On the north side of the property, there are 2 ponds also providing year-round water. The cabin is 2 bedroom, 1 bath pole barn converted to living quarters.
