This extraordinary 500-acre Southeast Iowa estate is a once-in-a-lifetime offering where world-class hunting, refined living, and unmatched amenities create a truly unique retreat.
Premier Hunting Land
At its foundation lies some of the Midwest’s finest hunting ground, curated for decades under a premier deer management program to consistently produce trophy whitetails. Rolling hardwood timber, rich soil, and diverse food plots provide exceptional habitat. The property features Redneck and Rutted Up blinds, two Vail/Crush feeders, six water tubs, and an extensive switchgrass and screening system for security and stealth. Comprehensive timber stand improvement, guided by a forester and whitetail biologist, includes a prescribed burn regimen to maximize growth and regeneration. Three large 20,000-gallon stone-lined ponds add both beauty and dependable water sources, while a sizeable all-season trail system ensures seamless access. Food plots are carefully planted with Enogen corn, soybeans, clover, alfalfa, pollinator mixes, Roundup Ready sugar beets, and brassica blends. Each field has been grid soil-tested and amended for peak productivity, blending science, strategy, and natural beauty into a world-class whitetail sanctuary.
Luxury Primary Residence
At the heart of the estate is a custom six-bedroom, five-and-a-half bath residence redefining rustic luxury. A three-sided stamped-concrete wraparound porch welcomes guests. Inside, a towering hand-laid stone fireplace with timber mantle anchors the living space. The home features a spacious custom kitchen, a showpiece wet bar, two great rooms, two dining areas, and an exclusive video archery range. Amenities include dual laundry rooms, a walk-in cooler for game storage, a fortified walk-in vault, gunsmithing area, and private archery shop.
Functional Spaces
The attached heated/cooled garage with four commercial-grade doors accommodates trucks, ATVs, boats, and farm machinery. Outdoors, a professional range includes seven lighted archery targets (20–80 yards), six illuminated gun targets (50–400 yards), and a heavy-duty shooting bench. A breathtaking three-acre, 35’ deep stone-sided pond with composite decking and a 24’ x 24’ covered pavilion provides fishing and entertainment. A 60’ x 64’ heated and cooled outbuilding offers ample storage and workshop space.
Legendary Heritage
The farm holds rare distinction as the former property of Lee and Tiffany Lakosky, stars of CRUSH with Lee and Tiffany on the Outdoor Channel. Under their management, dozens of Boone & Crockett bucks were harvested, establishing elite genetics and world-class status. The current owner, with 25+ years of wildlife and deer management experience, has elevated the land further with enhanced habitat, genetics, and stewardship—ensuring its continued legacy as a whitetail powerhouse.
Turnkey Offering
This estate is truly turnkey—fully furnished and move-in ready with furniture, appliances, décor, and bedding included. Beyond the residence and land, a complete lineup of equipment ensures immediate operational capability: tractors, planters, tillage and sprayers for food plot management; portable irrigation equipment for efficient water distribution; two Polaris Rangers; a 4-wheeler; and both batwing and zero-turn mowers to maintain fields, trails, and grounds.
A Rare Legacy Estate
Combining elite deer management, luxury living, entertainment amenities, and complete facilities, this estate is more than land and buildings—it is a legacy. For discerning buyers seeking the best in hunting, lifestyle, and investment, this Southeast Iowa masterpiece stands without equal.
