Description

This wooded timber and recreational property near Gallatin combines managed pine stands, hardwood stream corridors, established interior access, water features, and an improved gathering area. The layout begins with a secluded entrance along CR 1310, then unfolds through planted pine to a pond, pavilion, creek crossing, and an established interior road and trail system. The mix of timber age classes, rolling elevation change, open spaces, and shaded hardwood areas supports forestry, recreation, and potential rural homesite use, subject to buyer verification of utilities, soils, septic suitability, floodplain, and permitting.

Access and Interior Roads

The entrance is positioned near the northwestern corner along the road frontage. From the gate, an improved gravel drive runs east beside the younger planted pine, which provides a substantial wooded buffer between the interior improvements and the road. Beyond this stand, the drive turns southeast toward the pond and pavilion area. A separate gravel road continues approximately 0.7 mile through the northern portion of the tract to a former exploration pad. This road system provides practical access to multiple portions of the property and connects with additional trails beyond Sandy Creek.

Water and Terrain

A reported spring-fed pond, estimated at approximately 0.7 acre, serves as a central feature. Planted pine borders the pond on the west, while the east side opens into a maintained area with scattered mature hardwoods that provide shade around the pavilion. Sandy Creek traverses the rear half of the tract. The creek is described as clear and deep-banked, with water flowing through most conditions, and large mature hardwoods lining the corridor. A bridge crosses the creek and provides access to the trail system and higher ground to the south. Elevation is estimated to range from approximately 310 to 390 feet above sea level, creating noticeable relief across the property.

Timber and Forest Management

The planted pine includes two primary age classes. Most of the older stand is reported to be approximately 22 to 24 years old, while the younger roadside block is estimated at 8 to 10 years old. An estimated 64-acre block east of the pond and north of Sandy Creek was thinned within the past year. Pine south of the creek is reported to be of similar age and has not received the same recent thinning treatment. These stands may provide continued forest-management and future timber-revenue opportunities, subject to a current timber inventory, professional forestry guidance, operating costs, and market conditions. Mixed native hardwoods remain along the streamside management zones and other drainage areas, adding diversity to the planted pine landscape.

Pavilion and Utilities

The maintained pond-side opening is improved with a 30-foot by 40-foot pre-engineered steel pavilion. This structure creates a sheltered base for property visits, equipment staging, outdoor meals, and recreational use. Community water is reported to have been extended to this area. Electricity is reported in the pasture immediately north of the property, but service to the tract, meter availability, capacity, easements, and extension costs should be independently confirmed.

Recreation and Habitat

The combination of planted pine, mature hardwood corridors, water, interior roads, trails, openings, and elevation change creates varied conditions for outdoor recreation and native wildlife habitat. The road and bridge network supports access for property management, hiking, riding, hunting, and wildlife observation, subject to seasonal conditions and applicable laws. The pond-side opening offers an attractive gathering point, while the creek corridor and southern uplands provide a more secluded setting deeper within the tract. No representation is made regarding specific wildlife use or harvest history. A former oil exploration location lies in the northern portion of the property. The referenced well report reportedly classifies the 2017 well as a dry hole. The associated gravel road and open pad remain useful components of the interior access system. The site how offers a open area for parking equipment or for recreational uses.

Homesite and Long-Term Use

The maintained area near the pond, mature shade trees, pavilion, road access, reported water-line extension, and varied topography create several settings that may be evaluated for a rural residence, cabin, or expanded recreational base. No representation is made regarding buildability, septic approval, utility capacity, or permitting. With managed pine, hardwood stream zones, two water features, a bridge, and established interior access, the property offers a flexible combination of recreation, land stewardship, and long-term timber management.
