This isn't just a property; it's a legacy. This extraordinary 500-acre estate in Southeast Iowa is a rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a world-class hunting retreat where meticulous land management, refined luxury, and unmatched amenities come together.
This estate holds a unique distinction: it was previously owned, hunted, and personally managed by Lee and Tiffany Lakosky, stars of the Outdoor Channel’s hit series, "CRUSH with Lee and Tiffany." Their decade-long, hands-on management established world-class genetics and resulted in dozens of Boone & Crockett bucks being harvested, elevating the land to legendary status.
The current owner, with over 25 years of wildlife management expertise, has continued this legacy of excellence. His stewardship has further enhanced the genetics, expanded the habitat, and refined management practices, honoring the property's past while ensuring it stands stronger than ever as a true whitetail powerhouse.
Recognized as some of the finest hunting grounds in the Midwest, this property has been managed for decades under a premier deer management program. It features rolling hardwood timber, rich soil, and strategically placed food plots, creating a year-round sanctuary for game.
The hunting grounds are a testament to scientific precision and long-term sustainability. The property includes premium Redneck and Rutted Up Blinds, two Vail/Crush Feeders, six strategically placed water tubs, and an extensive switchgrass and screening system that provides both security for wildlife and stealth for the hunter. A professional forester and a whitetail biologist have overseen comprehensive timber stand improvement, including a prescribed burn regimen to maximize growth and regeneration.
Three large, 20,000-gallon, stone-lined ponds provide a reliable water source, naturally drawing in trophy whitetails and other game. A vast, all-season trail system offers seamless access to meticulously maintained food plots. These plots, grid soil-tested and amended for unmatched productivity, feature a diverse array of forage like Enogen corn, soybeans, clover, alfalfa, and Roundup Ready sugar beets. This is more than managed land; it's a carefully curated sanctuary where science and strategy create a world-class hunting experience.
At the heart of the estate stands a six-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath custom primary residence. The home is encircled by a stunning three-sided wraparound porch with stamped concrete, while a towering, hand-laid stone fireplace with a solid timber mantle serves as the centerpiece of the main living area.
The spacious custom kitchen, built with premium finishes, is an entertainer's dream, complemented by a showpiece wet bar. The home also features two expansive great rooms, two distinct dining areas, and a unique video archery range. For convenience, there are two separate laundry rooms and a large walk-in cooler for secure, climate-controlled game storage.
Designed for the avid outdoorsman, the home includes a fortified walk-in vault for secure firearm storage, a dedicated gunsmithing area, and a private archery shop. A custom-designed attached garage with heating, cooling, and four commercial-grade overhead doors provides exceptional access for all your vehicles, equipment, and gear.
The grounds feature a professional outdoor range with seven lighted archery targets under roofed stations, from 20 to 80 yards. Six illuminated gun targets are arranged from 50 to 400 yards. A heavy-duty shooting bench accommodates both right- and left-handed shooters, perfect for precision practice.
Complementing the home is a breathtaking three-acre, 35-foot-deep, stone-sided man-made pond. Encircling the pond is maintenance-free composite decking, with a 24' x 24' covered pavilion that creates an ideal entertainment space. A 60' x 64' custom-built heated and cooled outbuilding provides exceptional utility for storing equipment, ATVs, boats, or creating a workshop.
