This 24.17± acre tract is thoughtfully balanced between productive farmland and natural timber, offering approximately 11+ acres of cleared agricultural land, with the remaining acreage comprised of mixed hardwood and pine timberland. This split provides landowners with the best of both worlds—open, tillable acreage ready for cultivation, and wooded land that offers a natural habitat for wildlife, privacy, and recreational enjoyment.
The agricultural portion of the property is currently actively farmed by the owner, meaning the land has been well-maintained, cultivated, and managed over the years. The remaining acreage is home to a diverse stand of mixed timber, creating a picturesque landscape while also offering a long-term investment opportunity in timber value. At the rear of the property, you'll find a significant natural feature—Great Creek, a scenic waterway that not only adds visual interest and character to the land but also serves as a habitat for waterfowl and other game. The presence of the creek enhances both the recreational and ecological value of the property and offers excellent waterfowl hunting opportunities, particularly for ducks in season.

This soil also supports the feasibility of a future home site, making it a smart option for those seeking a rural homesite with room to grow, garden, raise animals, or simply enjoy the peacefulness of a country lifestyle.
For the outdoor enthusiast, this property is a true hidden gem. With a combination of creek frontage, timberland, and open space, the land supports a healthy population of white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, black bears, and a variety of small game species.
The timberland portion of the property offers natural bedding and cover areas for wildlife, while the edges of the fields and the creek line act as natural corridors for travel and feeding. Whether you’re a seasoned hunter or just enjoy observing wildlife in its natural habitat, you’ll appreciate the variety of species and the diversity of ecosystems on display here.
