The property totals 836.0 +/- contiguous acres and offers a plethora of outdoor and lifestyle possibilities for family and friends. Plum Creek represents the ideal family residence or outing place designed for enjoyment throughout all four-seasons. The property offers hunting, fishing, horseback riding, and many other outdoor and entertainment activities. The land checks all the boxes: large contiguous acreage, teeming with wildlife, reliable water sources, bordering national forest, outstanding structural improvements, secure and private with great access, and wide open space for dogs to run and kids to play.
Most of the landscape is mature hardwoods and mixed-age pine plantation timber set on a topography of hills and bottomland. The non-wooded acreage offers improved pastureland, wildlife food plots, and a well-maintained network of interior roads. There is a large spring-fed lake offering fishing and watersports and three woodland ponds to serve wildlife. Indian Creek is a spring creek that runs two miles along and through the land defining the majority of southwestern property line.
Although the propery is contiguous, there are two distinct tracts split by Black Jack Road, which are defined as the West Tract and East Tract. The West Tract is 576.75 +/- acres and serves as the primary hunting grounds of Plum Creek. An authentic, rustic and spacious hunting lodge with outside social area rests on the West Tract. The East Tract is 259.25 +/- acres and is home to the owner's residence, also known as the "Big House." The Big House rests on a manicured hill with a gorgeous southern view of the wide open landscape. There is a guest cottage positioned just off the Big House, which has a swimming pool and outdoor pavilion. In addition, the East Tract has a wonderful lake-guest cabin, large lake with boat dock, a manager's residence with maintenance shop and equipment storage, a paved aircraft runway, a hangar-event center, a large dog kennel, and a horse stall with corral. The East Tract also offers hunting in the woods north of the Big House, in the woods of the southeastern portion, and in all of the bordering Holly Springs National Forest lands.
Words can't describe the incredible hunting opportunities offered at Plum Creek. Avid sportsmen know the surrounding area for its excellent wild turkey and white-tailed deer hunting. The quality timberland, wildlife food plots, water resources, and estimated 12,000 acres of undisturbed bordering national forest land provide everything turkey and deer need to sustain a healthy and plentiful population. There are 22 identified locations serving as either wildlife food plots or defined hunting locations on the property. In addition, to turkey and deer hunting, the potential exists for dove and quail hunting as well.
