Dream Farm Alert! and at a dream price in one of the best neighborhoods in Clayton County. The farm consists of approximately one mile of secluded Cedar Creek bottom protected by long and tall ridges on each side. Excellent whitetail and turkey habitat with about a mile of one of the best looking stretches of trout stream I have ever seen. The clear water stream has numerous pools where the bottom can’t be seen and attracts trout and other species from both up and down stream. The State stocks trout on an adjacent private property to the East and many of those fish find their way into the riffle and pool filled section of stream on this property. These carry over trout have been allowed to live and grow here along with a great population of smallmouth bass. The whitetail sign here is evidence that large mature bucks have been on this farm frequently and the family has successfully harvested many in the 170 to high 190s class, a solid Boone and Crocket producer for the nearly 4 decades they have owned it. Picking up piles of sheds on this farm is an annual spring occurrence and a very important characteristic of a top-level trophy farm. The sheds in the below pictures are recent finds and many from years past have been sold at auction for premium prices. The timber has been managed like the wildlife and has sustained considerable income in 5 year intervals while being improved to consist mostly of desirable and valuable species. The fertile tillable acres demand both high cash rent along with great paying CRP contracts that together produce income of around $15,000 annually. Throw in a well kept farm house and out buildings and this turn-key farm on hard surfaced Garber Road just West of Guttenberg has many hard to find features all rolled up in one awesome property. Farms like this do not come along often - take advantage now!

Property Features:

- A massive Indian artifact collection has been found on this farm with recent finds under favorable conditions still being added. The Indians favored protective land features with quality water sources in game rich areas. They obviously, from the large volume of artifacts found here, stayed in this area for a substantial amount of time. These same qualities make it a great farm today.

- Great trophy whitetail genetics in this area famous for producing massive antlers

- Nearly a mile of scenic Cedar Creek trout stream with carry over rainbows and browns among other natural species. A great place to fly fish. There are countless riffles and long deep pools, one of the best I have seen

- 3 bedroom farmhouse has been well maintained and is very functional and could be rented for income

- Several outbuildings for storing equipment and machinery

- Large turkey population

- Timber has been managed to produce income in 5 year intervals and consists mostly of desirable trees

- 18 acres of buffer strip switchgrass grows to heights over 8 feet providing great cover in the bottom and producing nearly $300 per acre of income

- 18 acres of CRP on East side of farm could have 10% of it planted in food plot and has several hunting set-up possibilities I like, this CRP pays just over $200 per acre

- 36 acres of high CSR tillable cash rents for close to $200 per acre

- This Family has consistently harvested Boone and Crockett class whitetails since they purchased the farm nearly 4 decades ago

- It is in an area of Clayton County where widespread trophy management exists

- Just West of Guttenberg Iowa on the Garber Blacktop

- Clayton County consistently ranks in the very top counties in Iowa for trophy whitetails registered

- I believe this farmâ??s impressive whitetail history makes it a top level farm with its true potential yet to be met
