A quick look at the property reveals a tremendous amount of timber and thick cover. The seller is an avid outdoorsman, and he has set this property up with access in mind. There is an extensive trail system throughout the property that is accessible on foot or by ATV/UTV. For folks who like to hike and explore, you could take an entire day discovering what this farm has to offer. These trails also make it very convenient to extract game and plan a strategic entry or egress to hunting locations in the autumn. The springtime morel mushroom season would be amazing here. Most of the southern border of the farm is the Fishing River. As the name suggests, there is good fishing here year-round. This river system is a major travel corridor for whitetail deer.

What makes this farm special can be seen from the aerial map. There is a production row crop that borders this farm on the east, south, and west sides of it. This property provides the largest block of habitat and cover in the area, and is literally teeming with wildlife. The deer tails, rubs, and scrapes are everywhere, and are clear signs of high population density. For the waterfowlers out there, this farm offers yet another outstanding opportunity. There were 10 acres of the farm enrolled in the CP-9 Shallow Water Marsh Program. That contract did expire in 2023; however, the water height gate and overflow control outlet are still functional and available to flood this area and enhance the waterfowl habitat. There are another 30 acres that are currently enrolled in the CP-22 Riparian Buffer Program. The tree plantings (mostly oaks) create a buffer of trees and shrubs to filter runoff, prevent sediment from entering water bodies, and provide wildlife corridors. This contract is in place until 2032 and produces $6,027 in annual income. There are several areas that would make excellent locations for food plots to increase the attraction and utilization of the farm.

Towards the northwest corner of the farm, near the road, there is a cleared area in the middle of the timber that has been used as a campsite in the past. Both electric and rural water have been run to this location. What a great place to pull in a camper and have all the creature comforts you need, with the relaxing scenery you crave. I cannot impress upon you enough how special this place is and what it has to offer. Contact David Brothers at (660) 240-3243 to schedule your personal tour.
