Now is your chance to secure a premier southern Iowa hunting farm just north of Columbia in Marion County. This 103.87-acre property sits in the coveted drift plains region—an area known for top-end whitetail genetics, diverse habitat, and minimal pressure from surrounding landowners.The property offers a powerful mix of timber, CRP, and row crop acres, providing ideal bedding, browse, and seasonal food sources for whitetail deer, turkey, and upland game. With 36.21 acres enrolled in CRP, native grasses and pollinators provide cover and income—$5,546 annually—while 12.6 acres of tillable ground (leased for the 2025 season) can generate additional revenue or serve as strategically placed food plots. The tenant is currently leaving around 3 acres of standing grain to ambush big bucks late into season. Mature hardwoods, including walnut and oak, are scattered across the 44.78 acres in Forest Reserve, with an estimated $20,000 in standing timber value. The timber transitions from dense buck brush to open canopies, creating bedding sanctuaries and bowhunting pinch points. Two seasonal creeks wind through the property, fed by Hickory Creek, enhancing wildlife movement. There is an isolated pond in the SW corner of the property that screams mature deer core area. This property has not been hunted in over 5 years, and sits within a proven big buck corridor. Neighboring farms have produced trophy whitetails, including bucks grossing over 220" last season.
