This small CRP hunting tract offers a practical combination of recreational use, wildlife habitat, and potential income. The property is well-suited for a buyer looking for an affordable hunting tract that can provide immediate recreational opportunities while also offering flexibility for future management decisions.

Approximately 5± acres of mature hardwood timber are located on the property, providing valuable hard mast for deer and other wildlife. Mature oaks and other hardwood species can be an important seasonal food source, particularly during periods when acorns are available. The timber also adds structural diversity to the property and works in conjunction with the surrounding CRP to create a variety of habitat types within a relatively compact tract.

The CRP acreage provides thick, dense cover that can serve as bedding and security habitat for deer. One of the most attractive characteristics of this property is the number of transition areas created where different habitat types come together. The CRP, mature hardwoods, adjoining timberland, and neighboring agricultural fields create multiple edges that can concentrate deer movement. These transition zones can be especially valuable to a hunter who understands how deer use changes in cover, food, and security throughout the year.

Crop fields border two sides of the property, adding another important component to the overall habitat mix. Agricultural fields provide an accessible food source, while the CRP and timber offer nearby cover. The combination gives wildlife the ability to move between feeding and bedding areas without traveling far. For the deer hunter, these habitat edges can provide several potential locations for stand placement and observation.

The property has recreational appeal beyond deer hunting as well. Squirrel hunting should be an option within the mature hardwoods, while the property's diverse habitat can support a variety of wildlife species. The current owner reports no hogs on the property, which may be an advantage for a buyer primarily focused on managing for whitetails and other desirable game.

For a bowhunter, the property's compact size and concentration of habitat edges provide an opportunity to focus on specific deer travel patterns rather than managing a large acreage. The combination of CRP cover, hardwood timber, cropland, and adjoining timberland gives a new owner several factors to evaluate when determining stand locations and hunting strategies.

Another consideration is the property's proximity to Spring Bayou WMA. The wildlife management area provides additional public hunting and fishing opportunities nearby, allowing an owner to supplement the private acreage with access to a larger recreational landscape.

The existing CRP contract also gives this property an income component that is worth considering. The current contract can be renewed in October, allowing the new owner to continue receiving CRP income if eligible and if the applicable program requirements are satisfied. Alternatively, a buyer may choose to cancel the CRP contract and pursue a different land-management strategy. This could include establishing food plots, creating additional wildlife habitat, improving access, or developing a campsite, subject to the terms of the existing contract, applicable conservation requirements, and local regulations.

For an investor or recreational buyer, this flexibility creates several possible approaches to ownership. A buyer focused on income and low-impact management may choose to maintain the CRP. A dedicated hunter may prefer to transition portions of the property toward food plots and customized wildlife habitat. Either way, the tract already has several foundational elements that are valuable for a hunting property, including mature hardwoods, dense cover, agricultural edges, and established habitat transitions.

With mature hardwood timber, productive habitat edges, surrounding agricultural fields, CRP income, and nearby public recreational opportunities, this property offers a straightforward combination of hunting and land-management potential. Recreational properties of this size are very hard to come by, so don't hesitate and call for a showing today!
