Multiple species of trees are found all throughout the property, including several different oaks, walnut, hickory, cedar, and more. The trees provide a diversity of cover and food for the wildlife while enhancing the beautiful landscape.

Combined with the timber, the topography provides multiple bedding areas for deer and makes the property feel much larger than it truly is. Additionally, several miles of maintained trails create access routes to nearly every area on the property, enhancing the hunt ability and enjoyment of the farm.

31.25 acres are considered FSA farmable, carrying a CSR2 of 64.35, which the tenant currently has planted to alfalfa. This is a high protein food source for whitetails ensuring maximum antler growth each year.

The property also features 6 ponds and 3 seasonal creeks flowing into the Skunk River, providing great fishing opportunities and the final touch needed to provide the perfect habitat for game like deer, turkey, and waterfowl.

Imagine owning a property where the hunt is steps from your back door.
