This land is gently rolling with beautiful mature hardwood trees, abundant wildlife population and over three miles of roads and trails for easy access and use of the entire property. There is over a half mile or frontage on a gorgeous private 30+ acre lake that is managed by Southeastern Pond Management and regularly produces trophy bass over 12 pounds. The property also has an additional 1+/- acres stocked lake that would be great for creating a trophy bream lake for recreation or growing tilapia or catfish for the table. For the equestrian enthusiast, there are two large established pastures that are level with very fertile soil and bordered by Camp Branch Creek. Massive oak trees well over 100 years old line this beautiful, rock bottom flowing creek. The custom designed rustic upscale barn lodge is one of a kind and must be seen to appreciate. It was built with rare antique reclaimed heart pine and other fine woods, has two bedrooms, 2 full baths, a great kitchen open to a living area with fireplace, large storage area on the main level and an office with plenty of room for future expansion on the second level.
