Access is excellent, with multiple opportunities for entry and exit that allow hunters and managers to navigate the property efficiently while minimizing disturbance. From an investment standpoint, the farm includes approximately 130 acres of tillable ground, delivering a strong ROI of $17,160 annually while also offering flexibility for food plot conversion or future habitat enhancements.
