The hunting opportunities are truly exceptional. The farm supports abundant populations of deer, turkey, pheasants, and ducks, enhanced by a creek system and a large pond that provide consistent water sources. The mix of hedge and locust trees, native grasses, and multiflora rose bushes creates an ideal wildlife habitat, while the surrounding farms contribute additional bedding cover. Located in the heart of a large section of prime deer habitat, this farm has seen little to no hunting pressure for the past 50 years, ensuring exceptional genetics and trophy potential. The property will be open for the 2026 planting and pasture season, as the current cattle lease expires March 1, 2026.

Additional features include the option to purchase an additional 107.75 acres and a home on 19.90 adjoining acres with a pole shed, bringing the total potential ownership to approximately 244.65 acres.
