Recreational Land with Proven Habitat
This farm offers a well-balanced layout of mature timber, established CRP fields, and live water, creating an ideal environment for both wildlife and outdoor recreation.
A stocked pond and live creek frontage provide reliable water sources year-round, supporting strong populations of whitetail deer, pheasants, turkeys, and bobcats. The property features natural bedding areas, timbered draws, and an established food plot, making it a proven hunting property with consistent wildlife activity.
Located on a dead-end road with only 1/2 mile of gravel, the setting provides privacy while remaining just minutes from town.
CRP Income Opportunity
In addition to its recreational value, this property offers immediate income through established CRP contracts. The buyer will receive 100% of the 2026 CRP payments, creating a built-in return from day one.
This income component, combined with the property’s hunting appeal, makes it attractive for both recreational buyers and land investors.
Functional Improvements & Versatility
This property includes a solid set of improvements that add flexibility and long-term usability.
The farm features an older livable home positioned on the property, along with three grain bins equipped with a dryer and fans, offering potential for storage or rental income. An open-front machine shed with power provides space for equipment, while an older barn offers additional use for storage, livestock, or 4H projects.
The presence of pasture areas also creates livestock potential, giving future owners multiple options for use.
