The NRCS says there 55 acres of tillable on the farm but according to the owner the last time it was in row crop was 1967, and ever since it has had cattle on it, fertilizing it! The property is gently rolling hills, with heavy timber that hasnt been logged in 60+ years in a few places. There is a natural spring on the farm, that always flows and the owner said it has never frozen.There are 2 beautiful ponds on the property, and another pond that could be repaired and used too. There is 5 strand fencing on the property which makes it fantastic for cattle or horses, or it could be an organic farm or a winery, or just a weekend getaway. But this is Pike County, home of the giant whitetails and the first day i toured the farm, there were deer everywhere. I can imagine planting the 55 acres in corn or beans, planting some fruit trees in certain areas, and planting warm season grasses for bedding in other areas,,,,, this farm is a blank canvas to make your own, whether you are hunting whitetail deer, turkeys, or small game like rabbit and squirrels or even upland hunting, you design it and make it just like you want it. Come and see this beautiful farm, design it exactly like you want, in a place that already produces giant deer. Food, cover and water are here, the house is ready to move in, come and make it yours.
