With a balance of carefully managed timber, diverse native habitat, and well-placed amenities, this property stands ready to provide years of enjoyment and productivity for its next owner. The land itself reflects thoughtful stewardship. Over 29 wooded acres have benefited from the Timber Stand Improvement (TSI) program, creating healthier forest structure, improved wildlife cover, and better long-term timber value. An established trail system weaves throughout the property, making access to stands easy by foot or ATV. The 10-acre field has been converted to all native flowering plants, grasses, and woody shrubs. This butterfly and pollinator mix not only supports deer and turkey but also creates excellent upland bird and rabbit habitat. A fully stocked pond and newly installed game pond add to the diversity, offering fishing opportunities and a reliable water source for wildlife. This property has been developed with hunting and survivability in mind. Whitetail deer and wild turkey are abundant, and 6 tree stands are already in place. The mix of timber, native fields, edge cover, and water creates the kind of diversity that consistently attracts and holds game. Whether bowhunting early-season deer, calling spring gobblers, or fishing with family, the property is designed for year-round outdoor use. Beyond recreation, the property is equipped with a wide array of functional, self-sustaining improvements. A 2x6 custom-built, vinyl-sided, metal-roofed 3-bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home with office serves as the centerpiece, designed with comfort and quality in mind.

Bring your toys because there is plenty of room in the approximately 30x50 two-bay shop/garage with a concrete floor, lighting, storage shelving, and a work bench. Furthermore, there is a 20kw propane generator with 200-amp service that can power the main house, guest suite, and well pump house should there be a power outage. The addition of an orchard, producing apple, peach, pear, plum, and cherry trees, adds another element of self-sufficiency and charm.
