About This Home
There are places where the land speaks for itselfquietly, but with conviction. This 120-acre farm just outside Castana, Iowa, in the heart of the Loess Hills, is one of those places. With its sweeping views, rugged topography, and timeless character, it feels less like a piece of real estate and more like a chapter waiting to be written.Anchoring the property is an early 1900s farmhouse, situated with purpose near the edge of a ridge. The structure has seen decades of Iowa sunsets and hard-earned seasons, and it stands ready for its next caretaker. Whether you restore it into a full-time home, a rustic hunting cabin, or simply a weekend retreat, its bones are solid and its story still unfinished.This is not just a farmit’s a dynamic blend of habitat, history, and opportunity. Thirty-five acres are enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program, providing a steady income stream and a rolling landscape of native grasses that sway like prairie waves. These fields aren’t just scenicthey’re vital cover for upland birds and a sanctuary for deer moving through the warm-season grasses.The remaining 85 acres are classic Loess Hills timberdense oak and black walnut rising from steep slopes and shaded hollows. This is where you find mature whitetails slipping through the morning fog and longbeards strutting along the ridgelines. The terrain is varied and complex, offering strategic setups for treestands and blinds, and it's easy to see why this area has a reputation for producing some of Iowa’s best deer and turkey hunting.Trails wind through the hills, carved gently over time and offering access by foot or ATV. From a wildlife management standpoint, the property is a dreamdiverse cover, reliable food sources nearby, and topography that holds and funnels game. Whether you're a seasoned hunter or simply someone who craves space to roam and breathe, this land delivers.The location is just minutes from the quiet farm town of Castana, but it feels worlds away. Out here, the stars still shine bright, and the silence is broken only by a distant gobble or the rustle of leaves in the wind. For those who value land not just as an investment, but as a legacy, this is that rare chance.
