There are approximately 126.80 acres of open agriculture with extremely rich soils due to the proximity of Patsiliga Creek. The fields are currently planted in wheat and have been in a rotating basis of peanuts and corn offering an excellent food source for trophy deer and turkey hunting. There are various ages of merchantable planted pine from 12 to 25+ years that have been thinned and burned on a regular basis. 59 acres have recently been clear cut and are currently enrolled in a Long Leaf CRP Program starting in 2013. Several patches of pine plantation border the large open fields which would be ideal to incorporate into a quail trail.
Fitzlu boasts massive hardwoods, on both sides of Patsaliga Creek as well as several bottoms and drains. The creek, hardwoods, pines and fields create lots of edge which in effect provide more areas to hunt. There are also areas of black gums and cypress trees which flood and create habitat for a healthy water fowl population.
Other interesting dynamics about Fitzlu include a 1-5 acre pond stocked with bass and coppernose with several large lake sites to boot. The owner guestimates around $250,000 of standing timber not including the long leaf to be planted in 2013. There is a small pole barn for equipment storage and an old one room cabin with detached outhouse. Finally, a built up abandoned railroad makes an excellent road through the hardwoods.
