One of the standout features of this property is the beautiful, 8-acre (approx) lake nestled right in the heart of the farm. Picture this: a serene, private lake perfect for fishing, swimming, or simply unwinding by the water's edge. Lakes like this are rare, especially one that’s already established and full of life. The current owner reports the lake is teeming with Crappie, Bass, and Bluegill, with some impressive catches in the 3-5 lb range for Bass and 11-13” Crappie. Not only that, but the lake's depth ranges from 20-25 feet, ensuring it’s well-maintained and offers great conditions for fishing throughout the year. If you’re a fan of water-based recreation, it’s hard to imagine a more perfect spot.
The land itself features a mix of open acres and rolling topography, which provides both scenic views and natural diversity. With 80.58 acres currently enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CP-1), this property is not only a great investment but also a haven for wildlife. The CRP land, which was enrolled in October 2021 and is set to expire in September 2031, offers an annual rental income of $11,591, or $143.85 per acre. This area is planted with a combination of cool and warm-season grasses, creating ideal bedding and habitat for local wildlife, making it a dream for hunters and nature enthusiasts alike.
Speaking of hunting, this farm has everything you need to pursue your favorite game. The varied landscape, with its natural drainages and rolling hills, provides perfect travel corridors for Whitetail deer. Whether you're into archery or rifle hunting, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to stalk game. There’s even evidence of turkeys in the area, with tracks spotted and sightings reported during the property’s inspection. For those who are passionate about turkey hunting, a few prescribed burns ahead of the season could make this a prime location. Additionally, with upland game birds likely to call the CRP areas home, you'll have even more hunting options. And if you're into waterfowl, keep an eye on the lake where Swans have been spotted, adding the possibility of seasonal waterfowl hunting opportunities.
With its scenic beauty, diverse landscape, and multiple recreational possibilities, this 102.5-acre property is a rare find at an attractive price of $4,900 per acre. It’s competitively priced, making it an excellent investment for anyone looking for their own personal outdoor paradise.
