During a walk of the property, deer sign was observed in multiple areas, along with areas where grouse were flushed from the cover.

The varied terrain and cover types also offer several areas to consider when developing trails or other recreational improvements, along with many great spots to add food plots. For those interested in managing the property for hunting, the existing layout provides a starting point for developing an access and trail system. Potential improvements could include establishing trails through the timber and open areas, improving access between different portions of the property, or considering food plot locations where site conditions and applicable regulations allow. Evaluate any future improvements based on wetland conditions, access, local regulations, and the property's specific characteristics. In addition to recreational opportunities, the property may include locations worth evaluating as future building sites. Buyers should conduct their own due diligence on soils, wetlands, septic suitability, well locations, zoning, setbacks, utilities, driveway access, and other requirements before determining whether a building site is feasible. Contact the county if you’re looking to build on the property. There are some beautiful spots for a potential home.
