The design of this farm makes it hunt far bigger than its acreage. Rolling hills, creek bottoms, and natural pinch points create daylight movement opportunities throughout the season. Multiple access points allow you to effectively hunt prevailing winds without alerting deer, and the established trail system makes quiet entry and exit possible no matter the conditions.
Food Plots, Crops & Holding Power
Several strategically placed green plots, including a 10-acre destination field (half turnips, half greens), provide year-round attraction and late-season drawing strength. In addition, 25 acres were planted to beans in 2025, adding even more food source diversity and reinforcing the farms ability to hold deer deep into the season. Thick cover and diverse habitat combine to give this property exceptional holding power for both deer and turkey.

From early season hunts on secluded interior plots to late-season sits over the destination field and standing beans, this property is built for success throughout the entire hunting calendar.
