Highway 14, Chariton, IA 50049

This 218-acre Lucas County property offers a rare blend of location, layout, and proven whitetail history, making it one of the top recreational tracts to hit the market in southern Iowa. Located just north of Chariton, this farm sits in the heart of a highly regarded neighborhood known for producing top-end whitetails. Neighbors work together on quality deer management, and trail camera history confirms a strong age structure, with five bucks over 4.5 years old passed in 2024 alone. The design of this farm makes it hunt far bigger than its acreage. Rolling hills, creek bottoms, and natural pinch points create daylight movement opportunities throughout the season. Multiple access points allow you to effectively hunt prevailing winds without alerting deer, and the established trail system makes quiet entry and exit possible no matter the conditions. Strategically placed green plots, including a 10-acre destination field, provide year-round attraction and late-season drawing strength. 25 acres were planted to beans in 2025, adding even more food source diversity and reinforcing the farm’s ability to hold deer deep into the season. Thick cover and diverse habitat combine to give this property exceptional holding power for both deer and turkey. This is a turnkey opportunity to own one of the best whitetail hunting farms in Lucas County, where location, history, and design come together to create a property that stands out from the rest.
