Property details:

Tract 1:

Tract 1 is an outdoorsman's dream property. This tract consist of 97+/- acres that provides row crop, mature timber, high ridges, a pond, cedar thickets, and a wet weather slough. This property is perfect for holding whitetail year round and provides the necessary cover, food, and water. If that isn't enough, just past the East side of the property is the Castile Creek. This has created a large slough that runs along the East boundary that opens up the opportunity to kill waterfowl. The owner stated that the water is usually deep enough to operate a canoe on, and that there is also a spring that feeds the water hole. On the West side of the property is an old home, barn and outbuildings. This area is level and would make a great place to build a home or put up a cabin or camper for deer camps. Tract 1 has 11.5 +/- acres of row crop that provides income for a new owner or could be converted to food plots to further benefit the hunting. Do not miss this opportunity if you have been looking for an excellent recreational property close to town, this one is special!

Tract 2:
Tract 2 is a highly tillable tract that is nearly all farmable. This 54+/- acres would be a great addition to anyones portfolio and features a NCCPI rating of 78.5, which is 6.5 points above the county average. This tract also is fully terraced and lays well, making for easy farming. This tract will be open in 2024 should a new owner wish to farm it themselves. On the East side there is currently 5.40 acres enrolled in CRP paying $985 annually, this will expire 9/30/2025. If you are looking for a build site this tract also offers numerous building sites right along Highway DD or you can build further off the main highway and have a secluded homesite on SE Horn Rd. If you are looking for a great row crop farm that is highly tillable, well maintained, and ready to farm then give this place a look!
