This great smaller hunting and tillable tract located between Mt.

This great smaller hunting and tillable tract located between Mt. Carroll and Savanna along the Plum River is the perfect piece for someone looking for an investment or a piece of property with great recreational opportunities. The bottom tillable field is approximately 10 acres and could either be left in hay and crop production or, with a little work, you could develop the back half into some excellent habitat. Planting a plot screen between the river and the corner of the timber will completely seclude the back side and allow you to strategically place bedding habitat and food sources that are easily accessible and well used by wildlife. There would still be around 12 acres of hay and crop ground that would generate a decent return on your investment. The timber has worn out trails paralleling the hillside and stand locations are easy to determine. This is one of those farms that is nearly a blank canvas and could be turned into a deer and turkey hunter’s paradise. Don’t miss out on an opportunity to own a great smaller hunter tract. Give me a call today for more details or to schedule a private showing.
