Description
If you've been waiting for the perfect mix of outstanding deer hunting and a smart land investment, this Shelby County farm checks every box. Properties like this rarely hit the market, and when they do, they normally don't last long. The farm is enrolled in a 15-year CREP program that pays $20,376 annually, with 13 payments remaining. That's $264,888 still to come, meaning your investment starts working for you on day one. It's rare to find a property where the income helps pay for itself while you enjoy some of the best deer hunting Shelby County has to offer. Becks Creek runs along the eastern border, providing a year-round water source and a natural travel corridor that consistently funnels deer through the property. With an ideal mix of timber, cover, and surrounding row crops, this farm offers everything mature bucks need and is already a very solid setup. The habitat here has been recently improved with new plantings, and as these trees mature over the next 2 to 3 years, the hunting potential will only get better. Add a couple of strategic food plots, and you will create a true whitetail hotspot that will be hard to compete with. This pocket of Shelby County is known for producing big deer, and when you combine strong income, a prime location, and excellent habitat, you get a property that truly stands out. With an ROI over 3%, opportunities like this are becoming harder and harder to find in today's land market. This isn't just a farm. This is a rare chance to own a high-performing investment that also delivers the kind of hunting most people only dream about.
