The 652 acres are made up of 184 acres of tillable row crop currently in soybeans and corn. 67 of those acres are low lying creek bottom with Class I and Class II soil types for Reading and Kennebec, with an above average stand of corn. The 3 creek bottom tillable pockets sit wrapped with Coon Creek and big timber blocks making perfect funnels and pinch points throughout. The 45 acres of tillable that line the long driveway, were double cropped with rye and are currently planted to soybeans, with Class III soil types of Martin. The remaining 72 acres of tillable lie on the south end of the property with Class III and Class IV soil types of Martin and currently planted with a hearty stand of soybeans. The 214 acres of timber stand is made up primarily of mature hardwoods and impressive with the numbers of Black Walnuts throughout along with massive Burr and White Oaks not to mention several the towering Sycamores. The 140 acres of native grass has a decent stand and has been grazed with cow/calf pairs throughout the middle and south end of the farm. 5-strand perimeter fencing runs throughout along with interior cross-fencing separating the pastures from tillable and meadow acres. Several gate entrances internally and on the perimeter along with an internal trail system allowing one to access the entire farm internally. The 25 acres of native hay meadow on the east property is as clean and picturesque as they come with beautiful draws that fall off into the tillable creek bottoms with an additional 12 acres of native meadows to the west of the residence. The remaining acres of brome meadows sit to the north of the residence and currently hayed. The water sources on the property are endless from Coon Creek running throughout, natural springs, 5 watering ponds and 1 lake, even in the drought years the farm always has water. Incredible elevation changes throughout, over 200 feet! The hunting on the farm has been extremely limited, only allowing the same individual to hunt over the past 35 years. In the evenings, sit on the hillside over the tillable acres and watch the impressive numbers of whitetails funnel in to feed. From whitetail to turkey and quail, this farm holds the opportunities to grow and hold. The 4-acre spring fed lake also provides incredible waterfowl hunting and fishing. Every time on the farm, several ducks have been busted off, its the ideal roosting spot. Hunting unit #10.

Back at the headquarter, the original 1900 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom 1 story bungalow provides space for an ideal lodge or guest house with 1,208 square feet of finished living space. With all of the history this farm holds, the improvements boast just a glimpse of the once thriving operation that facilitated for many generations. The operation is complete with an incredibly well-preserved bank barn with stone foundation, calving barn, machine shed with lean-to, loafing shed, grain bins and corral with working pens. There are 3 water meters on the property and transfer. Natural gas runs to the residence. Residence on septic system. All mineral rights are intact and transfer to the buyer upon closing.
