This Guthrie County, Iowa farm offers an extraordinary blend of consistent financial return, long-term land appreciation, and high-end recreational value—all anchored by ½ mile of South Raccoon River frontage and access. Located at the end of a dead-end road, this property delivers the kind of privacy and seclusion that serious land buyers, hunters, and investors actively seek but seldom find.

At its core, this farm is a strong income-producing asset. 83.65 acres are enrolled in two CRP contracts, generating $26,930 in annual income, providing a 2.6% return at list price. That steady cash flow helps offset ownership costs while positioning the buyer for long-term appreciation in a region where quality recreational farms along major rivers are increasingly scarce.

Beyond the numbers, the recreational value is exceptional. The property lies along the South Raccoon River, offering year-round water, travel corridors, and natural pinch points that consistently produce outstanding whitetail deer hunting. The farm connects to large neighboring landowners, creating expansive blocks of low-pressure habitat—an increasingly critical factor for managing mature bucks. Add strong turkey populations and upland hunting opportunities, and this farm performs across multiple seasons.

Access is another standout feature. With ½ mile of river frontage, the property allows for both recreational enjoyment and strategic hunting access. The layout supports thoughtful stand/blind placement for multiple wind options, and efficient entry and exit—attributes seasoned hunters immediately recognize as essential.

Despite its quiet, secluded setting, the farm is conveniently located near Dexter and less than 30 minutes from West Des Moines. That proximity adds flexibility—whether for weekend use, long-term holding, or future resale—while keeping the property firmly within reach of the Des Moines metro market.

Situated in southern Guthrie County, an area known for strong recreational demand and limited river-front inventory, this farm represents more than just a return on paper. It’s an investment in land security, outdoor lifestyle, and legacy ownership—where annual income, appreciation potential, and unforgettable days in the field all work together. Properties offering this combination of income, privacy, river frontage, and proven hunting are few and far between. This is the type of farm that checks boxes today—and continues to reward ownership well into the future.
