There’s something deeply American about owning a piece of land and building a life that is truly your own. That’s what stands out about the Thurn Farm, which has been under the same care for 30 years. This farm includes 18 acres of tillable ground, 40 acres of timber, a recreational pond, and a homestead that is complete with a house and an insulated machine shop. Located at 2693 305th Street, just a few miles west of Vining in southeast Tama County, the property features a recently reinforced and raised pond with reported depths of about 30 feet! It is stocked with crappie, bluegill, largemouth bass, bullhead catfish, and walleye, and provides excellent opportunities for fishing and swimming. The hardwood timber provides extensive bedding cover and recreational opportunities for deer and turkey. A few trails have been cut through the timber, leaving much of the interior relatively undisturbed. During our morning photo shoot, we observed four mature gobblers on the property. Eighteen acres of tillable ground are currently planted to soybeans and alfalfa and carry a 53 CSR2, and are cash rented for $2,600 annually. The two-bedroom, one-bathroom home has seen several improvements in recent years. Solar panels keep electric costs low, while a Generac system provides backup power to the house and shop. A newer water heater and outdoor wood-burning furnace add to the functionality of the property. The wood-burning furnace provides primary heat for both the house and shop.
