This hunting farm is primed for those wanting a compact property with mature buck history and a great hunting layout. It's a solid block without any road frontage with thick cover, year-round water, and various food plots. This is a mighty little hunting farm, and it’s clear that the natural layout and diversity are appealing to big mature deer. This farm would be a blast to hunt because the edge here allows you to sneak around to several great parts of the farm. Hidden coves and secluded fields also lay the canvas for fun food plot hunting!
Various fields have been used for food plots and tillable cash rent. The seller has worked with the tenant to leave plenty of standing grain for the late season. The terrain is gently rolling with pinch points and south-facing bedding areas, and rows of cedars allow for hidden access routes to/from blind and stand locations. A combination of overgrown pasture timber makes for some of the best whitetail bedding, big oak and hickory hardwoods, and cedar thickets.
Access is from a 60-foot wide permanent easement from the south, leading up into the largest tillable field and north into the different parts of the secluded property. The 16 tillable acres offer a consistent income stream and the opportunity to leave standing grain as great late-season food plots. A winding creek cuts through the property's north end, providing a great water source for the wildlife on the farm. The aerial maps on the farm show old buildings that the sellers have since cleaned up. There are no structures on this land.
You might want to jump on this if you’ve been hunting for a potent whitetail farm. Contact Whitetail Properties Land Specialist Ben Harshyne for a private showing.
