There is about 68 acres of planted timber on this tract that is pushing 15 years of age and could immediately be thinned and be income generating. Throughout the south western corner of the property there are numerous hardwood varieties that multiple wildlife species, especially the whitetail deer, call home. Most of your black bear population is found bedding in the northern sections of the property along the thing bottoms of Welch Creek. When traveling the road system you can find 3 dominant white oaks that the current owner has taken tremendous care of and fertilized to expedite the growth of those coveted trees in this region as the whitetails crave their sweet acorns. Last year there were dozens of trees planted on this property to offer a tremendous variety of food sources for the wildlife and the layout of these trees can be given upon request: 80 Sawtooth Oaks, 24 Persimmons, 6 apple trees (multiple varieties), 5 Hybrid Chestnuts. Along with those species there are smaller varieties of fruit trees planted such as Plums, Cherries, and Raspberries; these will complement the dozens of wild blackberry bushes that line the roads that have been fertilized on a constant basis and are full of the sweet fruit!

There are approximately 5 acres of food plots that are split up in 3 main locations: the front road, the main, and the back corner. These food plots produce a high yield on all the food sources planted as the soil quality and fertilizers put out have been well planned. The varieties of crops in the food plots are currently in corn, beans, and chicory; in years past there have been other crops such as clover, turnips, and oats. Throughout this property, strategically placed to most effective hunt, you will find 5 box stands and 2 tripod stands that cover the food plots and road junctions that can all be accessed without having to walk through "where you are hunting".

Welch Creek connects to the Roanoke River and offers a great opportunity to waterfowl hunt. This creek flows into a large "bottom" on the north western corner of the property and has plenty of open water in the winter that makes hunting waterfowl easily obtainable. The good thing about this creek is that in the summer time you can find opportunities where the water is down and dry land can be found to plant grains such as rice or millet.

This property is accessed via a deeded perpetual easement that is currently an access easement off of Long Ridge Rd, the rights for utilities can be purchased so a dwelling could be constructed on the property if that is desired. Once you cross only the property there is a great area where the current owner had a well installed for drinking water as he kept a camper there on site and would frequently stay there with the family during hunting season.

* There is an opportunity for the current wildlife manager to continue managing the farm for the new owner.
