This large tract comprised of rugged mountain terrain and vast hardwood timber is a wildlife sanctuary. For a hardcore hunter, this tract has serious potential for quality whitetail management. With over a mile of pipeline right-of-way, there is plenty of food and the ability to plant secluded ridge top food plots. You can traverse all over this property with a UTV or ATV via the logging roads and pipeline access road infrastructure - allowing for excellent hunting access. The property has road frontage on Sams Run Road with a logging road that goes up into the property from a pull-off. You have to go through a very tight bridge on Sams Run to get to the access point - which is the main access point. A new owner could unload their UTVs off of Sams Run road and then ride all over the property. Without improving the roadways on the property and clearing a spot on the hill, the potential for building a permanent residence is low due to the lack of flat road frontage terrain. A remote cabin could be built up on the hill. The property was selectively cut historically (est 2010) but has future timber investment potential. The hardwoods are a mix of oak, poplar, locust, cherry, maple, and a variety of other species.There is future income potential from additional pipelines or other rights-of-way on the property. A stream (Manion Run) runs through the southern end of the property, and there are multiple springs in the hollows. There is deer and turkey sign all over this tract in the form of old scrapes, rubs, beds, and scratchings. This tract would hunt LARGE, and you could fit quite a few people on it. A series of finger ridges branching off of the main ridgetop makes excellent bedding locations and ambush sites for archery hunters. The terrain on this tract is STEEP - but it has a lot of desirable hunting features for animal bedding and movement. Mineral rights are not owned by the seller and do not convey.
