2648 County Highway P27 , Redding, IA 50860(Ringgold County)

Farms like this rarely if ever hit the open market! This is a superb recreational/hunting farm with great income in an excellent neighborhood. This 240 acre property has been off limits to any outside hunting for over 14 years and there are no cases of trespassing of any kind. The work to keep this farm sacred has already been done and it?s ready for you to just kick back and enjoy. There are three stocked ponds with one being next to the house that is a guaranteed hands down ?cannot get skunked? kind of pond. The owner?s kids and relatives have had a ball fishing that pond. The landowner has finally decided to sell his farms and move farther east to be closer to his daughter so all of his hunting farms must go!

The hunting on this farm is as good as it gets! Try to find more impressive trail pics or harvest pics on a farm for sale of this size anywhere. The farm is turnkey, stands are hung, blinds are up, food plots are in, tsi is complete and the bucks have been managed for 5 year olds or older since 2008. The last 6 deer taken on this farm gross scored 160?,160?, 166?, 177?, 188?(broken G-2) & 196. This farm has been featured on the Outdoor and Sportsman?s channels and the owner has hours of big buck footage of which only a portion is featured in the property highlight video. The farm is in the middle of a huge section with neighbors also managing for trophy whitetails. The neighbors own large tracts surrounding this farm which is ideal when it comes to whitetail management. The farm has paved highway frontage but almost all of the farm is hidden from the road.

There are currently about 145 acres of open ground of which approximately 120 acres are currently tillable and approximately 6 acres of food plots. CSR2 on tillable acres is 43.4 and CSR of 40.3. The tillable acres have only recently come out of CRP, which ensures a rich and healthy top soil. Income from custom farming is usually around $35,000-$50,000. The farm produced over 67 bushels per acre of soybeans last year. Over 100 acres has been terraced and tiled. This is a large investment and would likely cost over $100,000 if done today. An application is pending approval to complete the last 20 acres or so. Tillable acres are eligible for CRP if the new owner wanted to add wildlife cover while still collecting a good income from the conservation reserve program. The entire farm has been grid sampled, and the fertilizer applied for 2015 season, which is another cost savings to the buyer. Owner will agree to rent back farming rights as detailed below.

40x75 pole barn with water and electric adjacent to the house. North 22'x40' of building is finished and ? has been finished with beautiful knotty pine. A 24?x40? pole barn sits atop the hill Northeast of the house and has water and electric run up to the building.
