A very nice mostly-timber property with great access just minutes from Spencer. Located right on Porter Ridge Road, pull in off the blacktop into a level grassy pasture area that offers fantastic building locations, or good staging areas for between hunts to enjoy the views. There are remnants of an older structure foundation and a pole barn which once cleaned up more than double the options. There is a small, hidden pond just off this area too that offers a great watering hole for the deer and turkeys and could be improved for holding fish. The timber rolls downhill as you go north off the road and deer sign and well-worn trails are everywhere. The west side of the property takes in a wide swath of powerline clearing which has several stages of successional growth, from brush and young saplings which are currently heavily used by the deer as security cover, to more recently mowed areas on the more level parts which could be easily planted into food plots for some awesome hunting setups. There is a rock-bottomed creek that winds along through the northwest fourth of the property offering yet another reliable water source and some great views.  The timber on the property is a good mix of several desirable hardwood species with quite a bit that is of currently marketable size. There is also a great mix of thicker younger timber in the block providing great security cover within the center of the property. One of the biggest attributes of this property is the fact that it touches a very large tract owned by The Nature Conservancy and we all know that your hunting and ability to manage for mature bucks is only as good as what your neighbors practice. The fact that there is such a large default sanctuary bordering this property should get your attention if you are serious about managing for quality deer hunting. It’s not often you can find an affordable, smaller tract that can offer this situation. The turkey hunting here will be awesome too with the openings created by the power lines being a magnet for spring gobblers. This area is also known to offer some good spring morel mushroom hunting too. Please call to arrange your very own private showing. Shown by appointment only.
