Locust Avenue, Lot #WP001, Bayard, IA 50029 - Guthrie County

Whitetail Properties Real Estate is proud to offer this exceptional combination farm along the Middle Raccoon River. This is a classic Midwest farm with terraced tillable acres, hardwood timber ridges, river bottom timber, thick brushy draws and established food plots. There are commanding 270-degree views from the farmland when you first enter the farm that would be the perfect place to build a pole building or dream cabin. Properties that have all the key components to grow and hold top-end whitetail bucks rarely come up for sale in this part of the state. If there ever was a “perfect” combination farm, this might be it. If you’re interested in owning a scenic, combination farm where you can hunt, fish and completely unwind, give me a call. Showings by appointment only.
