The Property is 45% uplands, 37% wetlands and 18% lakes. The lakes on the property range in size from 24 - 330 acres.
The hunting opportunity should not be underestimated, this property boasts significant populations of migrating waterfowl due to the incredible water on and surrounding the property along with excellent turkey and dove hunting and even some wild quail.
