Premier Whitetail Bed and Breakfast with Multiple Homesites

Property Description

This beautiful 78 +/- acres sits on the eastern edge of over 8,000 acres of prime crop ground and grass pastures making it a hunter, homesteader or homebuilders dream.

The southwest corner, nestled in by a perimeter of cedar and oak trees, lies a lush 16 +/- acre hay field. This is the perfect spot for a south-facing home with big windows and a large deck to enjoy the view and watch wildlife cross between bed and breakfast. This field boasts a mix of native grass and fescue providing both cool and warm season forage along with providing habitat for bobwhite quail and eastern wild turkey. The owner bales it yearly with an average yield of 1.5 tons (2 bales) per acre. If you’re looking to homestead and grow your own food this pasture will provide the needed forage for cows to turn sunshine into butter and briskets.

The wooded edges around the pasture provide over 900 yards of transitional zones perfect for a deer blind. Sitting in that blind on a November morning is sure to provide plenty of action and could even fill your freezer with a well-placed shot. A small shallow pond is tucked into the timber just east of the grass field providing a safe watering hole for deer and a sure spot to chase that drop tine buck in the woods during archery season. Moving north into the 62 +/- acres of timber is easy due to the many trails cleared for ATVs and side-by-sides. A great place for the family to hike, ride dirt bikes, or quads through the trees, giving mom and dad a break from all that young energy. A pipeline easement cuts a 50'x700' long clearing through the timber providing the perfect spot to catch that elusive buck heading back to bed after a night of chasing does in the neighboring crop fields.

Moving north into the timber you realize how much personality this land has. The mostly flat hay field is contrasted by steeper slopes and a babbling rock-bottom wet-weather creek. If a peaceful cabin in the woods is your dream, it easily becomes a reality here. Hickory nuts, mature oak, and sycamores provide shade from the sun and an abundant food source for wildlife. Homesteaders wanting to grow forested pork will have no shortage of bacon and pork chops by just adding pigs to the equation. The multiple small pools in the creek and a second shallow pond on the east side guarantee an ample supply of deer stand sites just waiting for you to fill your tags.

Less than 1 mile from blacktop, 20 minutes east of Interstate 49, and only 8 miles south of Highway 54 this property holds the perfect homesite or hunting spot just an arms reach from civilization. With rural water, electricity and fiber internet on two sides you can unwind while staying connected to modern conveniences.
