The well from the original farmstead is still in good working order with a pump. The family remembers from way back when in heavy droughts, people in the area would come use this well to haul water when they ran out, as this well was always a producer, even in the toughest years. Just to the north of the house, the 40’x60’ metal shop sits with a framed-in office, open storage space and lean-to. Electric and propane are hooked-up and in working order. Both propane tanks are owned.
On to the south is the 36 acres of hay meadow, 6 acres of mature timber, 39 acres of tillable row crop, and the remaining 44 acres of grazing pasture. The 39 acres of tillable row crop, primarily in past years have been planted with corn and soybeans. Corn typically yielded 90-100 bushels per acre in past years. The well-maintained hay meadow has smooth rolling hills that flow into the draws that run to Dow Creek, providing an incredible build location to catch every sunrise, sunset, and wildlife running throughout. The timber stand gives protection and seclusion from the roadside and is made up of mature burr oaks, black walnuts, hackberry, and ash. Two spring-fed ponds provide tranquil watering spots. Each evening, expect to see several deer feeding in the tillable field and running the draws. This is a perfect habitat for quail and turkey as well. Additional utilities are available along the south side. Mineral rights are intact. The tenant lease is set to expire in 2020.
