High Point Land Company is honored to present the Schaffer Hollow 142, which shall be sold at live Public Auction on May 23, 2023 at the Waukon Banquet Center at 1:00, with online bidding available. This incredibly diverse recreational dream farm shall be offered in one tract. There will be two "open farms" to view this property - April 29, 2023 from 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM and May 6, 2023 from 12:00 -3:00PM. As you enter the property, you are able to park on the graveled lot in front of the 30X48 steel building, complete with electricity and a finished living quarters inside. The front half of this building provides adequate storage for equipment and offers a great space to process game and entertain. Stepping outside you will notice the beginning of numerous tree plantings, and an incredible stand of CRP, complete with well-maintained firebreaks. These nearly 6-foot-tall stands of native warm season grasses provide excellent bedding habitat and security for deer, turkey and pheasants to utilize year-round. The strategically placed firebreaks not only serve a purpose for prairie management, but also provides additional green browse; and coincidently creates tremendous funnels for deer using these transition areas to move from bed to food. This property sets up beautifully to access the strategically placed box blinds overlooking the established food plots. As you work your way to these blinds, you will see along the timber's edge is littered with rubs and scrapes. These edges have been perfectly manicured to provide additional structure and habitat. Complete with edge feathering, cedar plantings, aspen cuts, and a number of oak plantings at various stages of life. The extent of these tree plantings can be seen in the direct seedings that have been managed over the years, hemlocks planted in the timber, as well as the massive fenced in conifer planting; all adding to the holding capacity for deer on this farm. The timber itself is everything you could ask for in Northeast Iowa. A nice mix of Oak, walnut, and hickory provide a tremendous mast crop for wildlife, and make for an October and November backdrop that many of us dream about. These hardwood ridges have many pinch points throughout, and the TSI work that has been done also creates additional bedding and nesting areas while protecting new growth created by these regenerative management practices. These ridges are easily traversable, with additional trails coming up from the bottom for easy access for a morning hunt, as well as a road down to the "backside" of the farm where you can find another food plot. While all of this work has been done with wildlife in mind, it has been a focus to maintain the income generated on this property, with 55 acres currently generating $12,355 of annual income through various CRP programs. All of the habitat work put into this farm has paid dividends, providing the habitat needed to attract and hold an incredible number of mature whitetails over the years, as well as a strong population of turkeys and pheasants. This valley produces the genetics to produce Boone and Crocket deer year after year, but it is the work done on this property that truly makes it the hub for the entire neighborhood!
