Located within convenient driving distance of Ames, Boone, Fort Dodge, and Webster City, this property provides the ideal blend of income-producing farmland, quality wildlife habitat, and long-term investment potential. The farm includes 104.21 FSA cropland acres with a CSR2 rating of 82.7. Productive Luther Loam and Webster Clay Loam soils support reliable crop production and provide an attractive income stream for investors seeking consistent agricultural returns. The tillable acres are open for the 2027 crop season, allowing a new owner flexibility to lease the farm for cash rent, operate it personally, or implement a customized management strategy. What truly separates this property is its outstanding recreational component. The balance of the acreage consists of mature timber, natural travel corridors, and secluded cover that create ideal conditions for whitetail deer and wild turkey. The diverse habitat provides excellent bedding areas, travel routes, and hunting locations throughout the property. Several secluded openings offer excellent opportunities for food plot development, allowing hunters to further enhance the farm's ability to attract and hold wildlife.
