Property Description
This farm checks the boxes for the serious whitetail buyer, offering a proven hunting setup, reliable income, excellent access, and a strong neighborhood known for quality deer management. Located near Birmingham, about 10 miles south of Fairfield in southern Jefferson County and just a mile from the Van Buren County line, it sits in the heart of renowned Southeast Iowa whitetail country. The layout is designed for low-pressure hunting and efficient access. Centralized cover creates a natural sanctuary while allowing movement around the property with minimal disturbance. Three established food plots provide flexibility for multiple wind directions. The northwest and southeast plots are tilled and ready for planting, while the northeast plot is in Whitetail Institute Alfa-Rack, a blend of alfalfa, chicory, and clover that provides year-round nutrition. Access is a standout feature. The farm includes owned access from the north on a 15-foot-wide lane along the western boundary, along with additional entry from the east through a permanent easement on a private rock lane. Two established trails loop the property, creating convenient routes for equipment, trail camera monitoring, and quiet movement during hunting season. The CRP contract generates approximately $3,300 annually through 2034, while about 15 acres of cash-rented cropland contribute additional income, bringing the total to over $6,700 annually. There is also potential to enroll more acres into CRP.
