Over 70+/- acres of nutritious income producing tillable land, creeks and ponds, mast-producing hardwood timber and open areas perfect for food plots are just a few of the highlights that make up this absolutely stellar farm! Located in an area that annually turns out giant bucks, this farm has everything you could ask for in a great hunting tract. The agriculture fields are broken into two major areas. The northern portion has several timbered/brushy fingers that connect to create multiple “no brainer” ambush locations. The southwestern portion is a large open creek bottom field with gently rolling terrain that sits at a lower elevation. The separation of the two agriculture areas gives deer multiple options for feeding locations and helps to promote more mature bucks and doe family groups to live on the farm. Just north of the southwest crop field is a good size timbered/brushy area with an over 3+/- acre fallow field. This particular layout would be ideal to create a large staging plot to catch deer transitioning from bed to feed while keeping them on their natural travel pattern. The southern portion of the farm is a large block of timber that provides plenty of mast producing white, red and black oaks. This block of timber is a large hollow with a creek flowing through the middle. This is a natural travel corridor connecting the deer from bedding & acorn feeding areas to either of the large ag fields. There are two ponds and a creek that runs over a half mile through the farm. This provides the wildlife with a year-round water supply. There are several ideal building sites with road frontage on the farm. Electricity is already established along with a barn for implement and equipment storage.
