Farms like this rarely if ever hit the open market! This is a superb recreational/hunting farm with great income in an excellent neighborhood. This 240 acre property has been off limits to any outside hunting for over 14 years and there are no cases of trespassing of any kind. The work to keep this farm sacred has already been done and it?s ready for you to just kick back and enjoy. There are three stocked ponds with one being next to the house that is a guaranteed hands down ?cannot get skunked? kind of pond. The owner?s kids and relatives have had a ball fishing that pond. The landowner has finally decided to sell his farms and move farther east to be closer to his daughter so all of his hunting farms must go!
The hunting on this farm is as good as it gets! Try to find more impressive trail pics or harvest pics on a farm for sale of this size anywhere. The farm is turnkey, stands are hung, blinds are up, food plots are in, tsi is complete and the bucks have been managed for 5 year olds or older since 2008. The last 6 deer taken on this farm gross scored 160?,160?, 166?, 177?, 188?(broken G-2) & 196. This farm has been featured on the Outdoor and Sportsman?s channels and the owner has hours of big buck footage of which only a portion is featured in the property highlight video. The farm is in the middle of a huge section with neighbors also managing for trophy whitetails. The neighbors own large tracts surrounding this farm which is ideal when it comes to whitetail management. The farm has paved highway frontage but almost all of the farm is hidden from the road.
There are currently about 145 acres of open ground of which approximately 120 acres are currently tillable and approximately 6 acres of food plots. CSR2 on tillable acres is 43.4 and CSR of 40.3. The tillable acres have only recently come out of CRP, which ensures a rich and healthy top soil. Income from custom farming is usually around $35,000-$50,000. The farm produced over 67 bushels per acre of soybeans last year. Over 100 acres has been terraced and tiled. This is a large investment and would likely cost over $100,000 if done today. An application is pending approval to complete the last 20 acres or so. Tillable acres are eligible for CRP if the new owner wanted to add wildlife cover while still collecting a good income from the conservation reserve program. The entire farm has been grid sampled, and the fertilizer applied for 2015 season, which is another cost savings to the buyer. Owner will agree to rent back farming rights as detailed below.
40x75 pole barn with water and electric adjacent to the house. North 22'x40' of building is finished and ? has been finished with beautiful knotty pine. A 24?x40? pole barn sits atop the hill Northeast of the house and has water and electric run up to the building.
Tract 4 of 6 (See Decatur and Union County listings for Tracts 1-3): This 103 m/l acres is the North End of the 240 acre farm. It includes 48 m/l acres of tillable at 37.6 CSR2 and the 24'x40' pole barn. It also has a tower blind, several food plots, with two entrances from the West for good access on various wind directions. There is also a large pond on this tract, and a creek running east and west through the bottom. The TSI work has created some fantastic bedding cover, and many large Whitetails have called this tract home over the past several years. The owner was fortunate enough to watch as one buck lived on the farm from a 1 1/2 year old to a massive 196" 5 1/2 year old buck. This is a testament to the holding power of this farm. If you're looking for a once in a lifetime Whitetail Deer hunting tract, with some income and plenty of character, this is it. I've honestly never been on a better hunting tract. Owner will cash rent farming rights at $200 per acre for 2015. Tract 4&5 most both sell, or owner retains right to keep both tracts.
Tract 5 of 6: This 130 m/l acre tract is the South End of the 240 acre farm. This parcel is ideal for the investment minded outdoorsman, because it will provide a significant return with some fantastic hunting as well. There are 103.75 m/l tillable acres at 46.2 CSR2. The owner will cash rent the farming rights at $300 per acre for 2015. There is easy access to the fields directly off paved hwy P27, and the rolling terrain keeps the small pockets of timber hidden on the East Side of the farm. Food plots, trails, and TSI have enhanced the SE corner and main draw in this section creating a couple of the best stand sites on the entire farm. Tract 4&5 most both sell, or owner retains right to keep both tracts
