The farm has been strictly bow hunted with quality deer management practices in place for the past 15 years. The amount of edge cover on the property is truly impressive. Great access from three sides of the farm allow for strategic planning and hunting in multiple scenarios with different wind directions. The beautiful Twelve Mile Creek winds its way through the property creating a massive travel corridor for cruising bucks and the sign is there to prove it. Giant rubs and beaten down trails are a common site on the farm.
Approximately 30 acres of beautiful pasture ground lie outside of the conservation program and could be utilized for additional food sources, income, or a dynamite building location overlooking the rolling terrain. This is a truly fantastic hunting property that has all of the key ingredients that serious deer hunters and investors look for. Call Sean Stewart today to set up your private tour today!
