Located on the county's eastern side is this very diversified property in the heart of a big block of connecting habitat. The property has two points of access coming into the property from the southwest corner and the north central part of the property. On the south side of the property, there is an 8-acre block of timber surrounded by 36 acres of tillable on which you have deeded hunting rights. Head east to the main block of timber, which is excellent mixed hardwood timber gently rolling. Three prominent ridges run north and south, with trails going down each of these ridges to various stand locations. There are 1.5 acres enrolled in CRP on the south end and an additional acre not enrolled. Head north along the field edge, west side of the timber, and into the heart of the farm. There are 6.3 acres enrolled in CRP on the west side, along with 8 acres of hay ground currently being share cropped. There is a great food plot location on the south side of the hay field, which would make a great clover or brassica plot. This hay field would make a great place to plant a large clover field, brassica plot, and destination bean/corn plot. The field is surrounded by thick bedding cover, and with the right food plot program implemented, it will be a great field to hunt throughout the year and be a consistent producer of whitetails year after year. The north access is a deeded easement that crosses a neighbor along the north side of the property and allows you to slip into the east side of the farm without disturbing this farm. An expired CRP field on the north side of this farm blocks any view into the hay field, and the trail takes you across the creek to the eastern part of the farm. You can access stand locations in the timber and the eastern CRP fields. An old fencerow runs through the middle of the CRP and is a significant travel corridor connecting two blocks of timber. Overall, this is a dynamite farm with a ton of potential to establish food plots and turn this farm into a consistent producer of quality whitetails year after year. Give the listing land specialist a call today for more information or to schedule a private showing.
