As you pull into the driveway, the limestone house built during the 1880s is the main highlight. This home has stood the test of time and has a historic feel that can't be replicated. The view to the south is something you have to see in person. Also, the owners have stated how enjoyable it is to listen to turkeys gobbling from the porch and watch deer all year round from here. The house is on rural water and electric, featuring four bedrooms and one bathroom. The main living room is by far the most rustic and enjoyable place to be, with stunning views of the countryside. I have not seen a potential hunting lodge that has the character of this one.

The land is an ideal combination of timber and open acres - providing a new owner with flexibility to make the property their own. Currently, 30 +/- acres of pasture ground are well-taken care of. Featuring good soils, this could be used for livestock, cut for hay, or converted to row crop production if a new owner would like to increase the amount of food on the property. An additional 10 +/- acres of open ground in the center of the farm along the ridge-tops could be utilized for food plots or cover. Deer and turkey are abundant in the area. Some of the adjoining neighbors have tillable fields, providing ample food to the area. The timber is a good mixture of oak, hickory, elm, hackberry, and cedars. Additionally, there are some mature walnut trees. Trails cut throughout the timber, making accessibility easy. There is a great amount of topographic changes throughout the farm as well, helping it hunt bigger and providing pinch points and funnels. Scrapes and rubs can be found throughout the property. This region of the state is known for great deer and turkey hunting, as showcased by some of the bucks the landowner has harvested. Turkey numbers are high, as well as occasional sightings of quail. Multiple livestock ponds are also located on the property.

In addition to the house, there are multiple outbuildings for vehicles, tractors, and attachments. A 30'x40' two-car garage with concrete floors is located near the house, along with a 24’x30’ open-faced shed. A large 50'x60' shed also provides shelter and storage, with four horse stalls.

I have already fallen in love with this rustic limestone home, and I am sure you will too! The makeup of this property provides the opportunity for a new owner to enjoy the benefits of both some income-producing acres as well as its recreational value.
