The timber component includes approximately 40 acres of 14yearold pine that should be ready for its first thinning within the next year, 77 acres of 16yearold pine that has already been thinned, and 21 acres of pine handplanted in containers in November, adding a young, vigorous stand to the rotation. The 77acre stand is currently having the rows mowed, further enhancing both the propertys beauty and long-range sight lines for hunting and management. Together, these stands offer both nearterm and longterm income potential while maintaining a diverse and attractive forest structure.
An existing hunting lease provides immediate income potential and can be terminated with notice, offering flexibility to new owners. The property is permanently conserved to preserve its natural beauty and ecological integrity, yet still operates as an efficient and productive timber property by utilizing Best Management Practices.
For the outdoor enthusiast, this is truly a hunters dream. Scattered wetlands provide reliable water sources for wildlife, supporting strong populations of deer and turkey. To the north, the property adjoins a 4,000+ acre mitigation bank, ensuring that surrounding lands remain undeveloped and that wildlife have thousands of contiguous acres to roam, significantly enhancing habitat quality and hunting opportunities.
The Clay County Timber & Recreation Tract delivers an exceptional combination of natural beauty, wildlife habitat, and wellmanaged timber, making it an outstanding opportunity for the timberland investor or avid outdoorsman seeking both recreation and longterm value.
