The land itself is exceptionally diverse, offering a strong combination of recreational value and long-term investment potential. Approximately 100± acres consist of towering mature hardwoods that provide outstanding wildlife habitat, while 140± acres are planted in an 8-year-old pine plantation with future timber income potential. An additional 70± acres of natural regeneration creates excellent bedding cover and habitat diversity for deer and other game species.
For the hunter, this property is truly turnkey and ready to enjoy from day one. A well-maintained trail system stretches approximately 7 miles throughout the tract, providing access to all corners of the property. Five separate access points allow hunters to approach stands and hunting areas from multiple directions while minimizing pressure on wildlife. The property also features five established food plots, three box blinds, and approximately 0.86 miles of frontage along Cow Creek. Deer, turkey, ducks, and small game are abundant throughout the property, creating outstanding hunting opportunities throughout the season.
Additional improvements include a small barn ideal for storing tractors, ATVs, implements, and other equipment needed to maintain and enjoy the property. Kemper Lake, a popular 650-acre fishing and recreational lake, is located just 12.9± miles away, adding even more outdoor opportunities nearby.
