I am proud to have the opportunity to market this beautiful recreational property. The property has served as a retreat for the Friars of the Franciscan Province of the Sacred Heart for the past 32 years but is now being offered for sale to the public. From the moment you drive through the gate and see the view over the river bottom, you can tell you are on a special property. This farm offers over a ½ mile of beautiful Big River frontage, 35 acres of pasture land and over 400 acres of easily accessible timber land.  The 1700 square feet lodge is built looking over the river valley fields with a nice deck that has great views and is just a short walk to the 2 fishing ponds and the Big River. The ½ mile of river frontage offers a very relaxing atmosphere anywhere along the river, easy access to nice gravel bars, small mouth fishing, floating and swimming.  It reminded me of standing next to a mountain stream while I was there, it is very relaxing. The 35 acres of open land can be used for anything from row crops, pasture, or food plots. The 400 plus acres of timber offers great hunting opportunities for deer and turkey, the buck sign is abundant. There is a great trail system making it easy to access the entire parcel. This farm has a lot of potential to be turned into a big buck factory with the addition of some QDM practices. If you are looking for turnkey year-round recreational/hunting farm then you need to check this property out.
