Wildlife & Recreation
Deer, Pheasant & Turkey
Although currently operated as an income-producing irrigated farm, the property was originally acquired for its exceptional hunting and recreational appeal. Unplanted pivot corners were intentionally preserved to enhance wildlife habitat, supporting strong upland bird hunting and big-game activity. When combined with CRP acres and additional recreational ground surrounding the homestead, the property offers the framework for a well-rounded sportsman’s retreat.
Additional Income & Use Opportunities
In addition to farm income, the property provides several avenues for supplemental revenue. The combination of recreational demand, residential improvements, and quality infrastructure allows for flexibility across agricultural and recreation-oriented uses.
Established populations of pheasant, deer, and turkey make the property well suited for seasonal or annual hunting leases. The existing residence offers potential as a hunting lodge, caretaker home, or short-term rental, further expanding income or personal-use options.
The large shop and supporting outbuildings add to the property’s utility, offering opportunities for equipment storage, leasing to neighboring producers, or support for agricultural, recreational, or guided hunting operations.
Together, the productive cropland, recreational attributes, and functional improvements create diversified income potential and long-term flexibility, appealing to buyers seeking both operational performance and lifestyle value.
