LAND: The land consists of approximately 308 acres that range from improved, Bermuda hay pasture, planted pines, and even bottomland timber along Kickapoo Creek. There are many maintained trails throughout the property that allow the owner to access all parts of the property. Portions of the property along Kickapoo Creek could easily be converted into wetlands for waterfowl, as wintering waterfowl love this area. The current owner planted approximately 81,000 pine trees in 2010, providing ample cover for wildlife as well as providing future yields off timber harvests.

WATER: The property boundary along the South and west side is the center of Kickapoo Creek. Coppers Branch also flows through the property and feeds into Kickapoo Creek. There is a custom made 1.7-acre lake in front of the home with two fountains, a waterfall, and a natural spring. It is stocked with catfish and they are plentiful! The property also features many springs throughout. There are several ponds spread throughout the property in addition to the other water sources.

WILDLIFE: The Kickapoo Creek Bottoms act as a natural highway for wildlife to travel up and down the creek. This property is covered in wildlife! There are plentiful whitetail deer, wild hogs, small game, and ducks. The owner feeds year-round. Combined with the numerous pine thickets, mast-producing hardwood bottoms, and open pasture ground, the wildlife have an abundance of habitat. This allows the property to hold and keep wildlife year-round. During rainy or wet times, Kickapoo Creek and the surrounding watershed area provides several shallow water habitat conditions for wintering wildlife. Wood ducks and mallards can be seen up and down the creek or in these shallow areas. With a little work, an avid waterfowl hunter could create several different areas of wetlands to hold even more waterfowl.
