Monroe County, Iowa Farmland Auction – Mark your calendars for Thursday, June 11th, 2026, at 10:00 AM CST! Pleased to represent the Merna J Rusk Estate in the sale of 308.41 acres m/l in Monroe County, Iowa. This property will be offered in two tracts, providing a unique opportunity to acquire a premier recreational hunting farm alongside a large, contiguous, highly productive tillable farm - all in one auction setting. Tract 1 is located in Iowa’s highly sought-after “Zone 5”, along the Monroe County / Lucas County line, an area widely recognized as one of the premier trophy whitetail regions in the entire country. This 114.91-acre tract is built to hunt. A series of rolling tillable ridges cascade into deep, timbered draws, naturally creating the kind of pinch points, funnels, and sec luded bedding areas that consistently hold and move mature bucks during daylight hours. The layout offers the exact ingredients serious hunters look for with cover, food, and topography all working together. A 6-acre clearing in the northwest corner offers established access and an ideal setup for a cabin or camper site, giving you a private basecamp right on the farm. Spend your mornings in the stand and your evenings around a fire without ever leaving the property. Located just 2 miles northeast of Lake Rathbun, this tract also benefits from proximity to one of Iowa’s top outdoor destinations, adding fishing, boating, and year-round recreational appeal. Farm is leased for 2026.
