If great hunting, fishing, and privacy are top on your list, this stunning 94-acre property located in Madison County may be for you.
This farm is situated in the Middle River Valley, just North of Macksburg, Iowa, on paved Deer Run Ave. This area is known for producing giant whitetail deer, and it’s easy to see why once you step inside the property.
The seclusion here is difficult to replicate on most properties this size, as it is located at the end of a ¼ mile gated private lane and surrounded by large Ag fields and hundreds of acres of contiguous hardwood timber. The seclusion ensures privacy for your weekend getaways, but also a sanctuary to grow and hold deer and other wildlife. The previous owners were said to have harvested deer exceeding 200” B&C, and there are several harvest photos available upon request.
The wildlife populations are very strong, and benefit from the diversity of habitat this property offers. Features include a wide variety of hardwoods, cedar thickets, native grasses, mulberry trees, apple trees, clover and brassica food plots, and multiple water sources just to name a few. Combined with the rolling hills and surrounding Ag fields, the deer and turkey have all they need right here in this immediate area.
The owner has created and maintained a network of trails that provide access to nearly every portion of the property. This is great for effortless hunting access, hiking, and trail riding.
As you follow the trail system through the Easternmost valley on the property, you’ll come upon the large farm pond, fully stocked with large bass and catfish. A guest of the owners was fishing the pond during our recent visit, and happened to catch several nice bass, with the largest appearing to be at least 4 lbs. Incase the pond isn’t entertaining enough during the summer months, the Northwest portion of the property borders the Middle River, with over ¼ mile of your own private river frontage, also easily accessible from the trail system on the property.
For the recreational enthusiast wanting to stay near the city, it would be difficult to find land today that has more to offer than this tract. At only 45 minutes from West Des Moines, you can take off in the early afternoon and be set up in time for an evening hunt in one of the many Banks hunting blinds included with the farm. In addition, it’s worth noting that the private access provides the ability to run utilities in case you would want to build on the land in the future.
It isn’t often a tract of land of this caliber becomes available in Madison County. If you’ve been looking for that turn-key farm that you and your friends and family can enjoy, don’t let this one slip by.
