About this property
High Point Land Company is pleased to present this exceptional 334+/- acre property located in Taylor County, Iowa, just southeast of Bedford, offered for sale via an online timed auction ending at 1:00 PM on November 18th. This versatile property offers an outstanding blend of agricultural production, recreational opportunities, quality whitetail habitat, and potential building sites, making it an attractive offering for a wide range of buyers. The property features a diverse mix of productive tillable farmland, recently expired CRP acres, timber, and rolling terrain, creating a unique combination of current agricultural income and future upside. The varying terrain and mix of open ground and timber provide excellent habitat for wildlife, with the property situated in an area known for quality whitetail deer and a strong hunting tradition. The combination of food sources, cover, and secluded acreage creates an appealing setting for those looking to establish or expand a recreational hunting property. From an agricultural standpoint, the tillable acres provide an opportunity to generate income, while the recently expired CRP acres give a new owner flexibility to determine the best long-term use of those acres. Depending on the buyer's goals, these acres could provide an opportunity to increase productive farmland, improve income potential, or be strategically managed as wildlife habitat. The property's rolling topography, timber, and secluded areas further enhance its recreational appeal while also providing several potential locations for a future home, cabin, or hunting retreat. With multiple tracts offering different combinations of tillable farmland, expired CRP, timber, and recreational acreage, this property provides buyers with the opportunity to acquire land that fits a variety of investment and land-use goals. Whether you're a farmer looking to expand your operation, an investor seeking additional agricultural acreage, or an outdoor enthusiast searching for a quality hunting and recreational property, this Taylor County offering provides an excellent opportunity to own a diverse piece of southern Iowa land.

Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
