Pasture Farm And Timber Tract With Metal Building And Electric Near Wallace
This former cattle farm has many possible uses, including raising livestock, homesteading, and hunting. Both the timber and wildlife have been well managed for many years. There are approximately 7.5 acres of pasture with a stream running through the valley. A few acres are currently fenced for cattle in the bottom up into the timber and could easily be expanded to hold more livestock. Numerous gated entrances provide access to the interior road infrastructure that runs throughout the property.

This former cattle farm has many possible uses, including raising livestock, homesteading, and hunting. Both the timber and wildlife have been well managed for many years. There are approximately 7.5 acres of pasture with a stream running through the valley. A few acres are currently fenced for cattle in the bottom up into the timber and could easily be expanded to hold more livestock. Numerous gated entrances provide access to the interior road infrastructure that runs throughout the property. There is a steel building with 100 amp electric and 5 of concrete currently used for equipment storage. It has 12x12 insulated garage doors on both sides and could easily be converted to living quarters. There is a perfect place to build a home or a cabin on the small noll in the valley field adjacent to the pole building on the other side of the road. A county road runs through the property but dead-ends at the neighbors behind it, so there is very little traffic other than one neighbor. The property is located about one mile down a single-lane gravel road off the nearest blacktop road (Jones Run Road). The owner has managed the deer herd and wildlife on this property by applying quality deer management practices for years. Mature bucks have been taken off this property and the herd is healthy. There is abundant whitetail deer, turkeys, small game, and the occasional bear offering phenomenal opportunities for hunters to enjoy the landscape. There has been a lot of TSI and timber management performed on the tract removing junk species and promoting the growth of healthy marketable timber. There are many upcoming stands of white oak, red oak, maple, poplar, and other marketable species with 108,000 BF (Doyle scale) unofficially cruised last year. Part of the valley bottom below the building is considered a wetland, but the 100-year FEMA flood map does not show any flood plain encroaching into the field. A small spring-fed pond was used to water cattle in the past and is an excellent watering hole for livestock. It could be expanded and stocked with fish very easily. There is a short easement at the end of the property that the neighboring owner has occasionally used to access their remote timber tract for logging operations. City water is at Jones Run Road, which touches the corner of this property, but it is a long distance from the metal building. Private water, sewer, and heating would be most economical for building in this location. Mineral rights are not included.
