Much of our country’s best real estate is spoken for, tucked away and held long-term by those who understand its value. But every once in a while, opportunity knocks, and a door opens to begin writing your own chapter on a farm that others only dream of calling their own.This 453-acre property represents one of the most complete hunting and income-producing farms we’ve brought to market. To take it further, it’s been managed by the nation’s most recognizable whitetail coupleLee and Tiffany Lakosky.It’s located in a tightly held neighborhood between Pittsburg and Douds in central Van Buren County, where landowners are known for letting deer reach full maturity.The layout is clean and efficient, stretching one mile wide by one mile tall. You couldn’t ask for a better mix of habitat: hardwood timber, thick brush, rolling pasture, oak plantings, and productive ag fields. Everything ties together, and the entire property feels whole. With expansive cover and abundant food, this is the type of farm where deer can grow up and express their full potential.A Lakosky fundamental, food plots play a major role in this setup, and they’ve been taken to a high level. Nearly 40 acres are planted in corn, soybeans, legumes, brassicas, and cereal grain blends. Soil amendments and thoughtful rotation have been used to build long-term attraction and herd health. These aren’t just fields to hunt overthey’re part of a year-round nutritional program.Seven access points allow for low-impact entry and exit regardless of wind direction. There’s a full mile of road frontage on the north, with additional access from the west and south. A mowed trail system connects the interior, making it easy to reach every plot, stand, and camera site without disturbance.170 acres are rented for row crop, alfalfa, and light pasture. The same local farmer has worked the land for years, known for being reliable and taking great care of the ground. At $160 per acre, the income is steady and dependable.The hunting history of this farm is understated but significant. While the Lakoskys have documented recent years well, the previous owner was quiet but consistently successful. The current layout builds on that legacy with a design that supports age structure and buck retention. The size and cover keep deer home, while surrounding landowners contribute to the neighborhood’s high standard of management.Opportunities like this are rare. To own a farm of this scale and quality, personally developed by one of the most respected names in the hunting world, is a serious chance to continue a legacy of whitetail stewardship at the highest level.
