If you've wanted a 'project farm' with a great foundation that could be improved into a prime wildlife habitat, here is a fantastic option that includes CRP income, secluded pasture, and an awesome building site. It's located in Monroe County, one of the top counties in the country for trophy whitetails.

From the west, two fields total 20 acres in the Conservation Reserve Program, providing an annual income of $4,709. Heading east, the land starts to descend into a creek bottom, the main drainage running through the heart of this neighborhood. Ridges extend out and create excellent funnels for predictable whitetail movement.

This property is already a solid hunting property, with a lot of deer sign and heavy trails across the old pasture. If you are looking for a project hunting farm where you can put your touch through sweat equity and improve the wildlife habitat, this place could be awesome for you. It has a lot of character and feels very large because of the terrain.

The timber is diverse, with white oak and red oak scattered across. Walnuts are on the creek bottom, and on the east side are mainly locust, cedar, and hedge - a great foundation for sanctuary bedding. On the west side, near the road, there's a nice flat area close to the pond that would make for a great place to put a home or cabin, and there is a 34 x 53 cattle shed that is perfect for storing equipment.
