The property is approximately one-half mile from the road. Access is through an easement, which provides a very remote and private property. A small shed with sleeping quarters lies just inside the gate.

Having this remote property with the option to stay is a game changer when conditions are right, and you need to be in the woods and not on the roads. Beyond the shed lies approximately 80 acres of mature timber. The timber surrounds 77+/- acres of CRP land that returns $16,971 annually and expires in 2025.

Beyond the shed lies approximately 80 acres of mature timber. The timber surrounds 77+/- acres of CRP land that returns $16,971 annually and expires in 2025. The surrounding properties are well-managed and larger in size. This is another great benefit that adds to the likelihood of deer staying alive and getting bigger. Over 3 miles of field edge call this property home. The number of stand locations without crowding the thickets and timber is unreal. The property falls to the north and opens to a great creek bottom corridor. Next to the creek is a spring-fed duck hole that is fully established and ready for decoys. Without a doubt, great early teal and wood duck hunts could be in your future. A small finger of this property lies on the far side of the creek. This area is thick and punches right into a huge block of timber. This area would be a perfect spot for an all day rut hunt. The crazy amount of habitat has drawn many other species to the land. Turkeys are abundant and several coveys of quail now call this property home. The proper native grasses and management of those species have provided the food and cover needed to entice these animals to come and stay. Trails are still being established to provide better access to remote stands and additional native grass and miscanthus have been planted last spring to enhance screens and cover. Late season or bad wind hunts can be combated with the numerous enclosed blinds found throughout the property. The food plots are planted, and the blinds are in place. Show up and hunt! Properties like this one are rare and typically don’t last long. If you are looking for a remote property with proven great genetics and a place to spend the night, call today for a tour.
