Description
This 75.090± acre hunting tract in Pope County sits less than half a mile from the Ohio River and offers a well-rounded blend of habitat features that cater to deer, turkey, and waterfowl hunting.

Roughly 29± acres of open ground are currently in native grasses, creating excellent edge habitat and multiple options for strategic food plot development. One established food plot is already in place, paired with an elevated box blind, and several additional areas are ideally suited for expanding food plot acreage to enhance deer movement across the property. A 5± acre wetland area adds valuable waterfowl habitat, offering hunt opportunities during the migration period while also improving the overall diversity of the farm. About 18± acres of successional habitat provide outstanding bedding and security cover for mature whitetails, further supported by the surrounding timbered areas. These wooded sections feature a blend of softwoods and mast-producing hardwoods, creating travel corridors and feeding opportunities throughout the season. The property adjoins tillable acreage, adding another key attractant for wildlife and complementing the natural movement patterns across the landscape. With 2,400 feet of road frontage, accessible utilities, and an ideal build site along the frontage, the farm is well suited for a cabin, lodge, or full-time residence. This is a versatile hunting tract with strong habitat diversity in a highly desirable area near the Ohio River—an opportunity to own a property that’s ready to hunt and ready to build.
