This property is being offered in conjunction with two other parcels, one being approximately 386 acres contiguous with its north boundary, and an approximately 154-acre parcel further to north on the west side of FM 95. Both of these parcels are very similar in character, having a mix of native and planted pine, pastures, and outstanding hardwood forests. All are offered either separately or in combination this block of three parcels will make a very nice 620-acre land holding offering timber production, cattle lease income, and recreational opportunities. Another 53-acre parcel is offered for sale on the east side of FM 95 across from this one, and has young ready-to-thin pine plantation and native creek bottom hardwoods.

This is a very interesting property from the forestry standpoint. The forest is a enjoyable combination of upland and bottomland hardwoods, interspersed with very large native pine and planted loblolly pine mixed throughout the uplands. The approximately 33-year-old loblolly pine plantation trees are maturing into a moderate-sized sawtimber stand, and has had very conservative management over the past few decades.

This land offers really nice hunting, walking open woodlands, observing wildlife, growing good pine and hardwood timber, and the enjoyment of a nice hardwood forest. Over much of the property, the understory is very open and is very easy to traverse on foot. Cattle have been run on this property for many years, and are still present, assisting in keeping the forest understory in good condition.

About 43% of the soils on this property are in the Scottsville-Latex soil complex, a level-to-gently rolling upland soil that has a high site index of 90 feet, which is a commonly-used measure of tree growth potential. The bottomland Marietta soils in the north bottomlands along Wanders and Dog Creek make up 34% of this tract, and is one of the highest-producing soils in the southern U.S. for both pine and hardwood trees, and makes good pasture, according to the USDA NRCS soils survey. This soil has a very high site index of 100. The balance is the Eastwood very fine sandy loam, itself a common soil that produces good timber and pasture.

The Wanders Creek bottomlands are along the west side of this parcel, with Dog Creek being along the north pasture. The hardwood stands have a wide-open understory and are extremely easy to traverse. They contain some very large hardwood trees, with some cherrybark red oaks and overcup oaks being especially noteworthy.
