Wilbourne Lake is approximately 22 acres. The new owner of this property will have ownership of 11 acres of the lake, and use of the entire body of water. The owner recently drained the lake, and replaced the overflow pipe and repaired the dam on the south end. The lake was stocked with bream and bass in spring of 2017. At its deepest point the lake is about 10-12 deep. This is a great place to paddle around in a canoe or to wet a hook in your john boat.
The land consists of a nice mixture of large hardwood areas and several stands of varying ages of pine plantation. Some of the areas of mature pines could be improved into nice quail habitat.
