Description

This is an excellent opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind farm in the heart of the county along the Embarras River. The first thing you will notice as you make your way down the driveway towards the cabin is the first of two beautiful ponds. This pond is nicely manicured and has two fingers that stretch back into the timber. The property has three different structures in addition to an 18x31 carport. The first is the log cabin, which is approximately 1,248 sq ft. The cabin has an open-concept kitchen and dining area. A spacious living room with a fireplace, perfect for entertaining, is located off the dining area. The full bathroom is in the middle of the cabin, between the kitchen and bedroom. The large 11x23 bedroom is located on the west end of the cabin and offers a great view of both ponds. An open loft area above the main portion of the cabin offers additional sleeping or storage. The second building is the detached log garage. This garage has a 39x36 shop area with built-in shelving and one overhead door. The back of the garage has a 36x16 living area with a full bathroom, fireplace, and view of the back pond. The last building is the large pole barn. It has a large 40x14 lean-to in the back for storing equipment and a small, covered porch in the front for relaxing after a long day. The shop area is 40x41 with 16’ ceilings and two large overhead doors. This area is also heated and offers a full kitchen for entertaining large groups or processing games after a successful hunt. Just off the shop is an additional 15x41 living area with a full bath and loft area. This area has a large TV, built-in gun safe, and closet for extra storage. Most of the property is rolling hardwoods, with many white oak trees.

There is a very intricate trail system that helps you navigate around the property. Several open areas and old fields around the property have been converted to food plots or allowed to grow with native vegetation for bedding and nesting cover. A few plots have elevated blinds for hunting when the weather gets bad or when taking additional family members along for the hunt. Multiple access points and locked gates allow you to sneak in and out of hunting locations. The Embarras River meanders along the east side of the property, providing a great water source and travel route for the whitetail. This property is large enough to allow multiple people to spread out and hunt simultaneously. This property is excellent for outdoor enthusiasts or groups looking for a hunting club. This property is video monitored, and all gates and buildings are locked, so please call for your viewing.
