Premier 172 +/- Acre Hunting and Recreation Paradise

Property Description

Imagine your own private hunting sanctuary where over 4,000 feet of pristine Mud Creek winds through 172 +/- acres of meticulously managed wildlife habitat. This rare live water source has established the property as the premier destination in eastern Jefferson County for trophy whitetail deer and outstanding turkey hunting. An old creek channel creates the perfect timber hole for waterfowl hunting, while a recently reshaped creek crossing with skid steer work features a hard rock-packed bottom, providing reliable all-weather access to both sides of the property. Large neighboring tracts and a community of conservation-minded hunters allow bucks to reach full maturity – and the results speak for themselves.

This turn-key operation eliminates the guesswork with proven infrastructure already in place. The innovative 1,200-square-foot hybrid container/shop headquarters, protected by new barbed-wire fencing, features two expertly converted Xcalibur shipping containers providing finished living quarters complete with bunk beds, master bedroom, full kitchen, and bathroom, plus dedicated enclosed storage space. Two tank blinds come with the property, one equipped with a metal platform and stairs for optimal positioning. Three high-quality ASF feeders are strategically placed: a 1,000-pound stand and fill Broadcast feeder, a 1,650 Combo Protein feeder, and a 600-pound Broadcast Feeder with solar power.

The sophisticated habitat management program includes over 200 mature pecan trees representing premium varieties (Stuart, Mahan, Burkett, and natives) operating under a crop share arrangement with a local partner. This year's pecan income totaled $1,357.54, providing both wildlife nutrition and supplemental revenue. Recent plantings of 55 additional trees, including bur oak, paw paw, persimmon, nuttall oak, and hybrid chestnut, demonstrate ongoing enhancement. Five strategically located food plots provide diverse nutrition sources: an eight-acre primary plot with four acres of oats, two acres of spring mix, and two acres of brown top millet; a two-acre orchard plot typically planted to oats; an established clover plot showing promising growth after recent rains; a newly established plot; and a chufa plot.

This is more than a hunting property – it's a fully realized vision of what dedicated wildlife management can achieve. Years of thoughtful planning and infrastructure investment have created the ultimate hunting retreat, ready for immediate enjoyment while offering endless opportunities for the passionate outdoorsman to build upon an already exceptional foundation.
