If you are looking for a secluded farm off the beaten path, this property may be exactly what you have been waiting for. It offers an exceptional mix of habitat, improvements and unique features that make it well-suited for both recreation and long-term enjoyment.Preston Street separates a small 1.3 acre parcel on the west side that includes an older 1,200 square foot home. The house is currently rented and not available for viewing. This portion could be surveyed off and sold separately, continue as a rental, or be converted into a hunting cabin. Just across the road is an older, dilapidated shed that could be cleaned up and repurposed. With utilities available along Preston Street, this area would make an excellent cabin or headquarters location.Accessing the main property, you walk beneath an old railroad bridge dating back to 1906, a very unique historical feature. The main entrance is protected by a locked gate and a scheduled showing will be needed. A small stream runs under the bridge and eventually connects with the East Fork off the property. Moving up the hill brings you to a roughly 1.5-acre food plot that is surrounded by timber, making it a highly strategic hunting location. Just south of this plot is a small pond, ideal for weekend getaways, family enjoyment, or simply adding to the propertys wildlife appeal.The center of the farm naturally narrows and creates an outstanding funnel, with existing tree lines directing movement between a large tillable field to the east and woodlots to the west. This fencerow is enhanced by switchgrass plantings on two sides. In total, the property contains approximately 16 acres of switchgrass that provide excellent bedding and nesting cover. The switchgrass is not enrolled in any government program, allowing full flexibility to modify cover or add additional food sources as desired.A second food plot of approximately 3.5 acres is located south of the largest switchgrass planting and north of the southern portion of the farm. Much of the timber has undergone a select cut in recent years, greatly improving bedding cover and encouraging new growth. Another unique feature is the old railroad grade that runs along the entire west side of the property. This elevated corridor overlooks much of the farm and could be easily cleared to create an excellent access route to the south end.Overall, this property is extremely well laid out with food plots, switchgrass, timber and an established trail system all working together. It is a rare combination of seclusion, functionality and character, making it an outstanding recreational and hunting farm.Contact Adam Crumin, listing agent, for more information or to schedule a time to see the property. 217-276-2334.
