Although no timber cruise is available, all of the propertys timber is merchantable, providing immediate cash flow to an investor. Much of the planted pine on the 470 acres south of Monroe Paul Road is 20+ years old that has received a plantation cut - although there are some small areas with younger unthinned pine.

Given the numerous agricultural fields in the surrounding area as well as a location just east of the Choctawhatchee River whose river corridor is largely protected by the Northwest Florida Water Management District, whitetail deer are plentiful. Defined shooting lanes and feeders have been strategically located throughout the property, making for an excellent hunting experience.
Located in the Bethlehem community, just eleven miles north of the Holmes County seat of Bonifay, Bethlehem Timberlands is easily accessible via Interstate 10 and Highways 79 and 177.
