The land was maintained as pasture for 30 years and has only been out of pasture for the last three, making it incredibly easy to convert into elite deer habitat. Roughly 10 acres of tillable ground were added last year, with the ability to reclaim 20+ more acres for food plots or tillable. The rolling pasture is ideal for native grasses and thermal bedding, allowing you to design a property that holds deer year-round.
Access is excellent throughout the farm thanks to completed crossings and erosion improvements, making quiet entry and exit simple for multiple wind directions. Surrounded mostly by tillable ground, this farm offers the kind of sanctuary feel deer crave during hunting season.
Utilities are available at the road, making it easy to build a hunting cabin or lodge with electric and county water. An interactive aerial map is available on the listing company’s website to help you visualize stand locations and habitat improvements. If interested or if you have questions contact the Legacy Land Company listing agent.
