Description
Outdoor enthusiasts, here’s your chance to own a large acreage hunting & recreational property that’s located within the game-rich bottomlands of the Choctawhatchee River. The land, a dynamic network of timber-filled lowlands, diverse with oxbows, ponds and creeks, that are not only vital to the overall health of the river but provides the perfect habitat for a wide range of animal species. Within this property, you’ll find great numbers of whitetail deer, ducks, turkey, and wild hogs, which are regularly encountered when riding the property’s lengthy trail system that meanders through a spectacular portion of this biodiverse land. In fact, the Northwest Florida Water Management District recognized the magnificence of such a place and now oversees nearly 57,000 acres of adjacent land; and of course, these state-owned grounds are publicly accessible and can be entered through the southeastern boundary of this private property we call “Buck Hammock Field”. As the landowner, you’ll not only appreciate private access to state-owned land, but you’ll be thrilled to learn of several unique features that exist within the boundaries of your own private ground. One unique feature is literally printed on Florida maps and noted by the name of “Buck Hammock Field”. The hammock field, which is located only a few thousand feet from the main river channel, is an elevated portion of land that sits significantly higher than the vast stretches of surrounding bottomland. The Hammock lies deep within the property and offers a sought-after refuge for an abundance of wildlife as the river basin occasionally floods. The result is an estimated 26-acre island sanctuary that becomes isolated a good distance away from other land masses. Of course, accessing the island during a flood period requires a specialized ATV or small boat, but it is well worth the effort, according to the current owner, who states, “The island becomes a regular petting zoo when the river basin is flooded”. Other notable attributes of the property include a deep oxbow lake that was previously cut by an extreme flood. This deeply cut channel becomes a fish-filled lake and home for other aquatic life as flood waters recede. Good catches of bass, bream, and various fish species can make for a fun-filled day, and there’s the bonus of Mother Nature restocking the lake every time the river basin floods. The receding waters also leave acres of excellent waterfowl habitat in the form of shallow water marshes and ponds. Early morning wing shoots can be action-packed within the flooded timber. Another notable feature is the underpass made possible by Interstate 10, which is located at the parcel’s northern end. The underpass provides a safe passage for wildlife who travel up and down the river and wish to cross under the busy, high-fenced travel corridor, which is I-10. The property has paved road frontage, a gated entrance, and a designated camp area with a pole barn and a covered cleaning station set in place. Additional items, such as a camper, freshwater tank, ladder stands, Box blinds, feeders, etc., are not included with the sale but are negotiable. Give us a call and don’t miss out on this untamed Florida land.
