ABSOLUTE AUCTION! This property WILL SELL, REGARDLESS OF PRICE. There is NO RESERVE!
This 190 acres is situated in prime southern Iowa deer country near Albia Iowa. Lots of big oak ridges transition down into winding creek bottoms creating ideal habitat for turkey and deer. Its no secret that Iowa's fertile river bottom soils are responsible for the huge deer here and this farm has excellent river bottom soils. With frontage on the Cedar River, several seasonal creeks that hold ponded water throug the year, one pond and very good income of $100 per acre on the CRP (compared to most in the $70-$80 range) you won't find many farms that can boast all of this and that kind of income.
The farm is ideally located between the huge timber and crop fields and due to the way it is laid out long from northwest to southeast the deer from a large area north of this farm move through this property to find their way to the crop fields to the south. Combine that with the traffic from the deer this farm holds and you'll be in an ideal situation. If you want to live the Midwestern dream, the quiet country life and manage your deer herd on a farm with huge potential then get in on this one.
Lots of farms in the area are being managed and improved for optimum whitetail hunting. This 190 has lots of edge and many secluded fields that make perfect food plots and harvest plots. The house on the property currently serves as the sellers home, but could also be a nice cabin when you spend your time there. In fact, from the backyard you can keep an eye on the large river bottom behind the house where the seller's themselves have spent many wonderful evenings watching the deer cross the CRP fields.
The seller has one 3 acre food plot with a clover base on the farm and has created a well laid out trail across the farm and seasonal creeks to move ATV's or a small tractors to the many different fields on the farm. The sellers have always had a good relationship with a neighbor that does not hunt and has had exclusive hunting rights to 87 acres of timber to the north.
This really is one of those hard to find farms with excellent hunting and a home with all utilities. The seller is committed to selling this farm and will SELL ABSOLUTE on July 25th. You can bid by absentee bid, online bidding at NAALive.com or attend the live auction in Albia Iowa on that day.
