Property Overview
This 40.04± acre recreational property sits in the heart of Iowa’s scenic Driftless Region and borders the Sny Magill Wildlife Area—a well-known hotspot for trophy whitetails and excellent public hunting access. Located just 5 miles south of McGregor, this turnkey setup offers premier whitetail and turkey hunting with bonus access to world-class trout fishing.
The land includes 39 acres of mature, native timber—a mix of red oak, white oak, walnut, and hickory. The topography naturally creates pinch points and travel corridors that make this property ideal for archery and gun hunting alike.
A custom wildlife management and hunting plan, developed by legendary whitetail expert Bill Winke, has been utilized on this property—giving serious hunters a blueprint to consistently target and harvest mature bucks.
Secluded Kill Plot Potential
The 1-acre open yard behind the shed offers the perfect opportunity for a food plot right out your back door. In addition, the rolling terrain and natural breaks throughout the timber create ideal hidden pockets for secluded food plots or staging areas. These smaller, tucked-away plots are key to drawing in and holding mature bucks that call the big timber and neighboring public land home.
