Comments by Gabe Adair- This is that timber tract that so many people ask for, it has some open space for planting but mainly consists of cover. I used to own a property a lot like this one (not far away) and it had an old mineral mine on it like this one, there is something special about those properties with the old mines on them because for the deer that live there they are getting mineral 365 days a year. Every time they eat or drink something it is pumping mineral into them, and in my opinion that is why you get those huge bucks that run around. This is without a doubt a tract you could harvest giants every year

Comments by Gabe Adair- This is great combo farm! You’ve got the awesome tillable and CRP buffer strips for income with some great river bottom timber to hold and harvest the giant whitetails this area is well known for.(check out the pics) The home site could easily be fixed up and would make for a great secluded place to live or just a great “get away”.

AUCTIONEERS COMMENTS:  Here is a great combination of two tracts.  Good highly fertile land on the tillable tract with excellent CSR soils and an incredible hunting tract just 1/2 mile apart.  Gabe is a well known Land Specialist in southern Iowa and an accomplished guide and hunter himself.  His knowledge of southern Iowa's deer woods is credible and when Gabe tells me this is the right kind of property I know he is right.  Just look at the bucks in the photo gallery for this property!  That alone tells the story about this property.  The seller is committed to selling this farm and will sell absolute, regardless of price.  I hope you'll join us for the sale and if you can't make it feel free to submit an absentee bid by calling me at 712-592-8965.  If you wish to bid by phone we can accommodate you as well.
