LAND & WATER:
The ranch features a beautiful mix of open meadows, mature timber and rolling terrain. Century-old oak trees and large pines are scattered throughout the property, creating a park-like setting while providing excellent cover and habitat for wildlife. Water is a major feature of the ranch. A 2.5-acre spring-fed lake and additional spring-fed ponds provide year-round recreational value and are stocked with bass and bluegill. An extensive internal trail system provides convenient access throughout the property for hunting, horseback riding, ATVs and general ranch use. The property offers paved county road frontage on two sides and gravel road frontage on two sides, along with a full circle drive at the residence. The entire 184.818 acres has been surveyed into nine separate tracts, providing additional flexibility for future ownership, estate planning or potential resale.

WILDLIFE & RECREATION:
Approximately 2.5 miles of high fence support an established trophy whitetail program with exceptional genetics. The ranch has been managed for whitetail ranging from approximately 180 to 400 inches, with the opportunity for a future owner to introduce exotics if desired. Turkey are also present, and the property offers the habitat and infrastructure for additional game management. Hunting improvements include enclosed three-person rifle blinds, three-person bow blinds and 3,000-pound Outback feeders. Four-foot predator wire has been installed along the high fence to help control hogs and predators. Combined with the stocked lake, ponds and miles of trails, the ranch provides year-round hunting, fishing and recreational opportunities.

IMPROVEMENTS:
Completed in late 2024, the custom residence offers approximately 7,400 square feet of living space with five bedrooms, six full bathrooms and two half bathrooms.
