Description
Located in Southern Pike County, just east of Pleasant Hill and south of Vin Fiz Highway, this property offers a strong combination of productive farmland and CRP acres, dependable annual income, diverse habitat, and quality deer and turkey hunting opportunities. The property generates $23,701 in annual farm income from 78± acres of tillable ground and 55.83± acres enrolled in CRP. The tillable acreage, consisting of approximately 58 acres on the north end and 20± acres in the southwest, is rented for $15,100 annually. The CRP includes 22.3± acres paying $2,960 annually through 2030 and 33.53± acres paying $5,641 annually through 2027. Together, the tillable acres and CRP acres provide dependable income while creating an excellent mix of food for wildlife across the farm. From a hunting standpoint, the property’s layout is one of its strongest attributes. Bay Creek cuts across the farm and separates the northern tillable acres from the large block of timber, CRP, and thicker cover to the south. The combination of Bay Creek, timber edges, changes in topography, and transitions between feeding and bedding areas creates several natural pinch points and funnels. These funnels and pinch points provide numerous locations for tree stands and box blinds and allow you to take advantage of deer movement and wind direction throughout different portions of the season. Thick bedding and security cover are scattered across the property, giving the farm excellent holding power. Multiple food plot locations provide additional opportunities to strategically position food near this bedding cover. An extensive internal trail network provides convenient access throughout the property for habitat work, food plot maintenance, and hunting. Access into the property is from both the north and southwest part of the farm, providing options for hunting different portions of the farm based on wind direction and deer movement. The rolling topography adds character to the property and provides scenic views overlooking the river valley to the west. Combining Bay Creek, productive farmland, established CRP, extensive bedding cover, multiple access points, and a well-developed trail system, the property offers the habitat diversity needed to consistently hold, grow, and harvest mature whitetails while producing meaningful annual income. If you are looking for a recreational property that offers more than just hunting, this farm offers an attractive balance of income, habitat, access, food, cover, and a proven deer history.
