Experience the perfect blend of income, investment, privacy and premier recreational value on this 120± acre Guthrie County farm along the South Raccoon River. Located at the end of a quiet dead-end road, this property offers unparalleled seclusion just outside of Stuart, IA, yet remains less than 35 minutes to West Des Moines and metro amenities. With 83.65 acres enrolled in two CRP contracts paying $26,930 annually, this farm provides steady income while you enjoy one of Iowa’s most desirable outdoor settings. The well-situated layout includes ½ mile of river frontage and water access, making it ideal for fishing, wildlife viewing, and riverside recreation. True to its name as a trophy hunting destination, this property boasts outstanding deer, turkey, and upland game opportunities. It connects to large landowners with minimal hunting pressure, creating expansive travel corridors and habitat diversity that consistently produce quality game. Mature timber, river breaks, and CRP cover provide multiple ambush points and year-round wildlife activity. From an investment standpoint, this farm offers a 2.6% return at list price and benefits from long-term land appreciation trends in southwest Iowa. The combination of solid annual CRP revenue, low carrying costs, and increasing demand for private recreational acreage makes this a rare opportunity for investors and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
