Unmatched accessibility with frontage along US Hwy 30 and a central location to nearby cities with distances of 65 miles to West Des Moines, 43 miles to Ft. Dodge, 22 miles to Carroll, and 4 miles from Jefferson. Ultra-private setting with a dead-end gravel road serving as the only access to the farm and prevents unwanted wildlife pressure or disruption of privacy. The internal trail system has been well managed and allows access by foot or ATV/UTV to check photos on a trail cam, visit one of the many spots for your deer stand, or visit a scenic lookout point. You’ll find abundant wildlife here in the gravel-pit pond, which reaches depths of over 20 feet and is chock-full of a variety of fish including bass, bluegill, and catfish; and the blocks of hardwood timber should prove that land adjacent to river systems produce the largest whitetails and have exceptional turkey hunting.
