Entire Farm Description:
Dynamite hunting tract! This property offers all the essential elements for the avid hunter and property manager. This large contiguous acreage tract boasts a diverse blend of habitat types, making it an ideal sanctuary for growing, holding, and harvesting mature bucks! With 100+/- tillable acres, the property generates a steady annual income of $10,000.00 and was planted in corn for the 2023 season. Additionally, there are 40+/- acres of open ground, which holds the potential for hay income, further enhancing the property and its practicality. Some areas of the open ground have established stands of clover already in place. The combination of tillable acreage and open ground has created miles of field edge on numerous opportunities for adding additional food plot acreage. For the discerning hunter, this tract presents a plethora of opportunities. Multiple ponds adorn the landscape, providing fishing opportunities and a year-round water source for wildlife in the area. When it comes to scouting and hunting, this tract is well-equipped. Three Redneck blinds and one 2-man deluxe Condo blind remain with the property, strategically positioned in known big buck areas. The rolling topography, timbered ridges, and draws create numerous funnels and pinch points, making it easier to track and intercept game. The property’s timber, a mix of softwoods and mast-producing hardwoods, was selectively cut a decade ago, allowing for regeneration and a healthy habitat. Amongst the timbered areas, you’ll find sections of dense understory that provide the ideal security and bedding cover for big bucks. Black Creek and several drainages flow throughout the property. Black Creek is a major travel corridor for wildlife in the area with several ideal ambush sites along its path. This natural feature enhances the property’s already exceptional hunting potential. Navigating the vast terrain is made effortless by the established trail system, which spans the property and is wide enough to accommodate a tractor and implements, easing transportation and management activities. Access is further facilitated with over 1 mile of road frontage along multiple sides and three gated entry points. In conclusion, this dynamite hunting tract is a remarkable opportunity for any hunting enthusiast or property manager seeking a well-rounded and productive piece of land. With its diverse habitat, established income streams, strategically placed blinds, and extensive trail system, this property is primed for both exceptional hunting experiences and sound land management practices.
