Description
High Point Land Company is honored to present this highly diversified 1,232+/- acre property with over 947+/- acres of certified cropland located in Rice Township, Ringgold County, Iowa. While the farm offers a natural division into three individual tracts, providing flexibility for a variety of ownership goals, it is being offered with a strong preference to sell as a whole, giving buyers the rare opportunity to acquire a large, contiguous southern Iowa landholding. The seller would consider selling the property in three tracts only if all tracts close simultaneously.
This farm represents the ideal blend of income generation and recreational excellence. The property features a strong base of productive tillable acres, established CRP contracts that provide dependable annual income, and a thoughtfully balanced mix of timber, pasture, and water. The rolling topography creates natural drainage, scenic views, and highly effective wildlife movement patterns, while multiple ponds distributed throughout the farm provide year-round water sources for both wildlife and potential agricultural use.
From a recreational standpoint, this property is as complete as they come. The diversity of cover, food sources, and water supports strong populations of whitetail deer and turkey, with the layout offering natural funnels, bedding areas, and travel corridors. Whether you are an avid hunter or land manager, the farm offers immediate usability with additional upside through habitat improvement practices such as food plots, timber management, and strategic access enhancements.
The combination of productive tillable acres and reliable CRP income gives this property a stable investment profile with strong long-term appreciation potential. In addition, the size, layout, and overall diversity of the farm provide flexibility for future resale, potential division, or multi-generational ownership.
As we evaluate this farm as a whole, it is sometimes easiest to analyze this farm in three individual tracts.

The layout of this tract allows for efficient farming practices while still maintaining excellent hunting opportunities along edges, draws, and water features.
Tract 2 - 414+/- Acres:
Tract 2 presents a highly versatile mix of tillable ground, timbered draws, and open pasture. This diversity allows for a wide range of uses including row crop farming, grazing, and recreation. The timbered areas provide ideal bedding and cover for wildlife, while the open ground contributes to income potential. Multiple ponds and excellent access points make this tract both practical and enjoyable to use. The rolling terrain creates natural pinch points and travel corridors, enhancing its effectiveness as a hunting property.
Tract 3 - 369+/- Acres:
Tract 3 is a dynamic and well-balanced parcel featuring a combination of tillable acres, mature hardwood timber, CRP ground, and multiple ponds. The CRP acres provide steady annual income while significantly enhancing habitat quality. The hardwood timber offers long-term value and exceptional cover for wildlife. With rolling terrain and strong access, this tract is ideally suited for recreational use, particularly hunting, while still maintaining meaningful income-producing capabilities.
