This property is the very definition of pride in ownership and could be the best planned and managed wildlife conservation property in northeast Indiana. It features seven food plots, about two acres total, which is maintained in a variety of annual and perennial plants designed to attract and feed a diverse range of game and non-game species. There are many fruit and nut trees planted for wildlife and the landowner. There are two ponds on the property, one (about .5 acre) within the wildlife conservation area and one (about .8 acre) as part of the residential landscape. Lowland areas are dense and brushy, providing cover for wildlife. Many upland areas are forested with a diverse stocking of native timber species. Few properties this size have as wide-ranging habitat and plant/tree species like this one. Deer and turkey sign is abundant.
