Once in a Lifetime Southern Iowa Gem with Business

KILOTERRA is honored to present this breathtaking 294-acre property nestled along ½ mile of pristine Skunk River frontage in Jefferson County Iowa.
With seemingly endless outdoor experiences available, and multiple structures designed to serve as a wedding venue, this is one of the most special properties
available on the market today. Whether you’re an avid outdoorsman, a savvy investor, or someone looking for the perfect blend of both, this property offers
everything you could dream of for a profitable and lifestyle-enhancing retreat.

Nature at Its Finest
Located along the famed Skunk River, an area known for producing trophy whitetails, this property is truly a hunter’s paradise. The property totals 294 +/- gross acres, with approximately 252 m/l acres of the farm is a mix of diverse timber and rolling hills. The balance is a mix of open fields, water sources, and buildings.

Multiple species of trees are found all throughout the property, including several different oaks, walnut, hickory, cedar, and more. The trees provide a diversity of cover and food for the wildlife while enhancing the beautiful landscape.

Combined with the timber, the topography provides multiple bedding areas for deer and makes the property feel much larger than it truly is. Additionally, several miles of maintained trails create access routes to nearly every area on the property, enhancing the huntability and enjoyment of the farm.

31.25 acres are considered FSA farmable, carrying a CSR2 of 64.35, which the tenant currently has planted to alfalfa. This is a high protein food source for whitetails ensuring maximum antler growth each year.

The property also features 6 ponds and 3 seasonal creeks flowing into the Skunk River, providing great fishing opportunities and the final touch needed to provide the perfect habitat for game like deer, turkey, and waterfowl.

Imagine owning a property where the hunt is steps from your back door.

Thriving Business Potential
This property is more than just a rural retreat—it’s a profitable investment with multiple streams of income. The established Whitetail Country Estates, ranked #7 wedding venue in Iowa, generated an impressive $312,000 from April to October in its last full year of operation. The venue offers a stunning setting for weddings with a custom pergola, stamped concrete ceremonial altar, and two spacious pavilions perfect for events. It also includes a 5000 sq. ft. lodge that can accommodate 27 guests, a charming bridal suite for 12, and even a manager’s office for on-site operations.

Additionally, the property has a VRBO/BNB business for year-round income, along with a campsite featuring 6 RV concrete slab spaces with full water and electric hookups. Combine that with a storage facility, fuel tank, and ample outdoor space, and you have a ready-to-go revenue generator.

The unique combination of natural beauty and outdoor amenities makes this property perfect for organizational retreats and corporate events too, which are additional potential revenue streams.

Land for Leasing & Expansion
Currently, 31.25 FSA acres, holding a CSR2 of 64.35, are leased for alfalfa production at $150/acre. However, the potential doesn’t stop there. For income minded investor, the balance of the timber could easily be leased for hunting. Considering the onsite amenities, outfitters would have interest in using the premises as their base camp, providing a great revenue generator during the wedding / event off-season.

Endless Possibilities
Whether you’re drawn by the potential for a thriving event venue business, the allure of owning a place to host your own company events and entertain clients, or want a private sanctuary with seemingly endless recreational possibilities, this property offers this and more.
