This is a five-star hunting tract with a nice lodge, income and a deluxe mix of habitat types! Great care has been taken to make sure this farm has everything that the wildlife needs to live a healthy life and reach maturity! It has a 1,000 sq. ft., 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom lodge with central heat/air, a deep well and a spacious covered porch. There are multiple storage sheds and a 5-bay lean-to shed for storing farm equipment. The lodge and main entrance point sits on the south-west corner of the farm. From the lodge a main road/trail system runs throughout the farm and provides easy access to all areas of the property. An additional entry point is located on the northeast corner and provides great access during southerly winds.  The diverse blend of habitat types is laid onto a gently rolling topography that is loaded with pinch points and funnels. There are approximately 55.44+/- acres of open ground that is broken into several different sized fields spread throughout the farm. 24.72+/- of those acres are enrolled in a CRP program that generates $4,648.00 annually and approximately 5+/- acres are currently in standing corn grain plots. Several areas of the open ground have good stands of clover that provide even more food for wildlife! A main creek flows through the farm and is a main travel corridor for wildlife in the area. At the southern border of the farm this creek/travel corridor connects to a large area of thick sanctuary habitat to the south. Approximately 1/4th mile to the south-east is the Round Pond Nature Preserve. Round Pond is a “no hunting” preserve that aids in helping the local bucks reach maturity and recruiting bucks to surrounding properties. The farm has two large ponds that are stocked, have clean manicured edges and make for great fishing ponds as well as a year-round water supply for wildlife. The timber is a great mix of softwoods & mast producing hardwoods with areas of thick understory scattered throughout and is enrolled in the Forestry Management Program.
