This property offers an ideal balance of productivity and recreation, featuring approximately 23 tillable acres of fertile river bottom ground, complemented by 18 acres of mature timber and creek draws. The farm supports strong populations of whitetail deer, turkey and Morel Mushrooms, making it highly attractive for hunting and wildlife enthusiasts. The Little Fabius River, along with multiple drainage creeks, bisects the property, creating excellent habitat diversity, well-defined travel corridors, and natural pinch points. Established and heavily utilized game trails are present throughout the farm. The 23 tillable acres are divided into three separate fields, providing excellent transition zones and effectively segmenting the property into distinct, manageable areas bringing in an annual income of approximately $4000. An established clover and chicory food plot is in place, which was over seeded with cereal rye in Winter 2025 and frost-seeded with clover in Spring 2026. The current tenant farmer is also open to leaving standing crops to enhance wildlife food sources. The mature timber provides both aesthetic appeal and critical wildlife sanctuary. A Timber Stand Improvement (TSI) project was completed in 2024 in accordance with recommendations from an MDC forestry agent following a site consultation. Additionally, a road screening planting project was completed in 2024 based on a written plan developed by an MDC biologist. The property is well-equipped for hunting, featuring a Banks Stump-4 tower blind and five ladder stands positioned to accommodate multiple wind directions. These improvements are negotiable as part of the sale. A freshly installed gravel parking pad provides convenient access. The property also includes an extensive trail camera history, offering valuable insight into wildlife activity. The farm is currently cash rented for the 2026 season, with the lease open for renegotiation in 2027. The existing tenant farmer has been cooperative and would welcome the opportunity to continue working with a new owner. The current owner has also secured hunting access to an adjoining 80-acre tract, effectively expanding the usable hunting area to approximately 120 acres. Contact information for this lease will be provided to the buyer. Hedge City Campground is located nearby and offers RV hookups, providing a convenient lodging option within approximately 10 minutes of the property. For additional recreation, Henry Sever Lake Conservation Area is nearby, offering fishing and outdoor activities, while White Oak Bend Conservation Area—located just five minutes away—provides further hunting opportunities. The property is conveniently located approximately 2.5 hours from Chesterfield, with easy access via paved State Highways 15 and 156, and a county-maintained road leading to the site. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-rounded property in a region known for producing quality whitetail deer.
