Enjoy a perfect blend of income and wildlife habitat from this secluded farm along the Appanoose/Davis county line. This trophy whitetail hunting farm has rolling terrain, mature hardwood timber, brushy pockets with cedars, creek bottom, ponds, edge, sanctuaries, food plot locations, a discreet building site, and priceless views. This year it will generate $6,147/year through the Conservation Reserve Program. See the bullets below for a detailed breakdown.
A dead-end road leads you to the southwest corner gate of the property. Inside the entrance is a machine shed for storing equipment and a pond. This area would make a perfect place to build. To the east is approximately 12 tillable acres, which historically have been used as a giant food plot. The late-season hunting here is described as “tremendous”! To the east and southeast is a significant block of timber; to the north is a south-facing hillside of CRP native grasses and a thick east/west creek bottom.
This area hosts several large farms that are managed to grow a healthy, mature whitetail herd. Trail camera and harvest photos show that many bucks have high-scoring traits! Imagine the heart-racing moments that will come while glassing from the tower blinds, watching a target buck wind his way into range.
This area comes with a history of big whitetails. See the trail camera photos to prove what this farm and the seller’s other farm 0.75 miles away have produced. Remnants of old pasture fences and gate holes create predictable locations for trail camera surveillance. The North Fox Creek meanders through the heart of this farm, providing a centralized travel route for cruising bucks. We don’t expect this offering to last long at all. Call the listing agent if you have serious interest!
