5046 Depot Rd, Wadena, IA 52169

Just miles east of Volga River State Recreation Area and less than a ¼ mile from the Volga River lies this beautiful 25 +/- acre combination farm in the hills west of Wadena, Iowa. You’ll notice the beauty of this farm from the moment you turn down the road and are surrounded by the property on both sides. This 25 +/- acre combination farm is an excellent funnel between large timbers and has the deer sign to prove that it is a heavily used, high-traffic area. This farm is absolutely pounded with deer sign. With the vast amount of cover and habitat, this area is known for its very dense population of both deer and turkeys and has an impressive harvest history of both typical and non-typical animals. This farm sits just north of Kornhill Road where one of the largest whitetails arrowed in Iowa history was shot in 2016, the Kornhill Buck. There are excellent spots for tree stands on the pinch points and ridge tops and it sets up nicely with several ways to access from different wind directions via road frontage and access from the farmstead to the south. This farm could further be enhanced with several acres of food plots placed strategically where there is now pasture and native grasses on the west side of the farm in combination with tower blinds. The timber complex has a variety of hardwood species with a predominance of black oak. There are also some great bedding areas with thermal cover present. Almost the entire farm has quality fencing in place and would be suitable for running cattle and other farm animals. The acreage on the southwest corner of the farm features an early 1900s home with a newer poured concrete basement and a brand-new HVAC system and roof both in 2022. There are several beautiful old barns and sheds on the farm as well. Just a short drive to several trout streams including Grannis Creek there are certainly many recreational opportunities to be had in this area. This would be a perfect recreational weekend getaway to bring the kids and camper or an opportunity to invest sweat equity and make it your forever home.
