Property Characteristics: The property is situated along the south side of CR 447 in Laneville, just west of the FM 225 corridor. Approximately 40% of the land consists of upland areas, making it suitable for development, while the remaining 60% is lush bottomland. The upland regions, located near the road frontage, offer higher elevations that gradually slope downward towards the south and east, culminating in the serene banks of Shawnee Creek. This diverse landscape is primarily wooded, featuring a healthy mix of mature hardwood and pine timber, interspersed with areas of native brush regeneration. The bottomland, though prone to flooding during extreme rain events, is rich in native grasses and provides fertile ground for future growth. A well-maintained trail network, complete with a bridge over a central creek, ensures easy access throughout the property. The tract is estimated to be approximately 70 acres but it is noted that this will be cut out of a larger tract. The boundaries on the map exhibits are approximate.
Wildlife: This property is a wildlife enthusiast’s dream. The combination of upland and bottomland habitats, along with the dense coverage of native timber, creates an ideal environment for a variety of species. Rusk County is known for its abundant deer, wild turkey, and small game, all of which thrive in this secluded tract. The proximity to Shawnee Creek, along with other smaller springs and drainages, enhances the habitat, attracting an array of native wildlife and offering outstanding recreational opportunities, from hunting to bird watching.
