The land is primarily wooded with some open pasture near the house, but mostly hardwood timber with approximately 12 ac of planted pine timber (potential income source). Land is mostly flat, but has some roll in the hardwood forest.
Wildlife is plentiful with whitetail deer, hogs, and various small game utilizing the timbered area as a sanctuary. Several good locations for food plots and feeders to enhance hunting and recreational potential. Trails have been maintained for ATV trails, bird watching, and for ease of traveling the property.
