Description:
Here is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own the western tract of the farm that was built over a 17-year period by former owner and renowned whitetail hunter Bill Winke. It has an elite layout with a history that showcases southern Iowa at its finest. This farm is located in a Monroe County region with possibly the strongest concentration of trophy-managed farms in southern Iowa, an infamous area between Albia and Blakesburg.
Whitetail Properties Real Estate is offering The Winke Farm three ways: the western 382 acres, the eastern 572 acres and house, and the entire 956-acre offering that has it all.
This particular 382 acres m/l is the western tract. It's a gnarly place with thick bedding cover, large hidden fields, excellent access, and possibly the best stand on the farm. There are just over 27 acres in various CRP contracts, paying $4,407/year, and about 24 acres on the east side with drain tile in row crop production. Approximately 70 acres of open land remain, which are used for food plots or in brush - allowing you the ability to adapt to specific habitat needs. Access is from the east off a maintained county road, and from the northwest, if you drive around the section, use the dead-end road.
A field in the shape of a backwards E sets the stage for Bill's most productive blind, a Redneck tower that has hidden entry/exit and sits at the pinch of deer travel, just east of a preferred bedding area. Setups like this can be relied upon year after year to encounter mature bucks in bow range.
It will be tough to find a farm with this awesome an aerial view from a hunting and deer management perspective. With the deep history that Bill has had on this west property, along with it being in the heart of a large neighborhood that is notorious for growing world-class whitetails; this is a premiere offering to own a piece of southern Iowa history. Showings are by appointment only to financially pre-qualified buyers. Contact the listing agent, Ben Harshyne, and The Southeast Iowa Land Team with Whitetail Properties Real Estate.
