Multiple feeders, mineral licks, stands, and trail cameras are already setup and ready to go, it’s hunt ready! Numerous well-developed food plots, ponds, year-round streams and a newly established apple orchard, linked by the network of trails and roads leading throughout the property. All of this within close proximity of secure bedding cover provides everything mature bucks and a healthy deer herd desire and need to thrive. The wide-range of habitats, natural browse, and abundant edge provides the seasonal variety needed to grow and hold those mature bucks throughout the year. The contours of this land and its many access points help to allow undetected entering/exiting when hunting different wind directions to keep from tipping off that old buck. This property’s multiple structures and sheds provide safe, dry, storage for any number of uses from equipment storage to even potentially a hunting camp fixer upper to stay in. Electric is available on the property and county water is only short distance at the road. The hunting potential on this tract is fantastic, but would also make a great property for a retreat home or cabin to just get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
