Timber, Vegetation, and Land Management

This property boasts an exceptional stand of mature mixed hardwoods, including oak, hickory, and sweetgum, as well as approximately 50 acres of plantation pine reported to be around 30 years old. The timber has been meticulously maintained, with extensive mulching of undergrowth throughout the property. This thoughtful management has created a park-like setting with an open understory that enhances accessibility, aesthetics, and usability of the land. The open understory not only highlights the beauty of the towering trees but also provides practical benefits such as improved airflow and reduced fire risk. The cleared pathways allow for easier exploration, hunting, and enjoyment of the land’s natural beauty.

The open areas of the property are primarily planted with improved grasses that are ideal for hay production or cattle grazing, providing an agricultural benefit to complement the recreational opportunities. Seasonal wildflowers and native vegetation, such as dogwoods and sassafras, add splashes of color and charm to the landscape.

This blend of mature timber, open grassy areas, and well-maintained grounds creates an exceptional environment for wildlife, agriculture, and outdoor activities.
