Property has approximately 59 acres of CRP trees (most of the remainder is in timber) with an annual income of $6,345 until 9/30/2035; that’s 14 years of payments.  Approximately 19 acres of un-hunted nature preserve sanctuary area. 12+- acres has potential as shallow water wetland for waterfowl.  Target range area where shots can be taken safely up to 500 yards.

With my quest of desiring to be accommodating in mind and not to be negative …… If you are looking for a well-designed, established property, you will be motivated to study this tract. If you’re looking for a distress sale of a non-established property that has none of the mentioned attributes, this may not be the property for you.
