If you’re looking for a getaway property right in the middle of big buck country, then check this one out! I can just picture a rustic cabin tucked back in the corner of the field overlooking a small fishing pond. You could create the ultimate weekend destination property with fun for the whole family. There are 13 acres of open ground (formerly CRP) that could be farmed or put back into CRP. We all know deer are “edge” animals and the CRP field is an “L” shape that has created over ¾ of a mile of field edge. There are 26 acres of timber on the farm with a great mix of hardwood and softwood species. The timber has plenty of oak species mast production and an excellent understory that provides plenty of browse along with perfect bedding and sanctuary cover! Less than 2 miles away is Harrisburg New City Reservoir, a 209-acre lake open to the public for fishing. The lake is known for excellent largemouth bass fishing, as well as bluegill and channel catfish. There is ¼ mile of road frontage along Tate Road and the entrance is on the northeast corner. There are several areas on the property that would make ideal building sites. Power is available at the northwest corner of the farm along Tate Road and county water is available as well. If you’re looking a secluded property off the beaten path, then check this one out!
