Tract 1 of 2
Description
Tract 1 Description: 81.59± acres
Located in eastern Hancock County, this highly diversified property sits within a large, contiguous block of connected habitat and offers excellent potential for both hunting and long-term wildlife management. The surrounding area is known for strong deer numbers and consistently producing mature whitetails, making this a desirable property for serious hunters and land investors alike.
Access to the property is provided by an easement entering from the western/northwestern portion of the property. As you enter the property, there is an expired CRP field that acts as a natural screening barrier. This added cover helps reduce pressure and provides a sense of seclusion. As you head east across the creek, you transition into the eastern portion of the property. The eastern field is divided into two distinct sections, including an area of expired CRP and an established 8± acre food plot. These two areas are separated by an old fencerow that has naturally developed into a key travel corridor, funneling deer movement between larger blocks of timber. This type of structure is ideal for stand placement and creates multiple opportunities to hunt deer moving between bedding and feeding areas. There is an additional 8-acre food plot on the western side of the property that sets up equally as well and pulls deer from a different direction.
Beyond the open areas, the timber provides additional stand locations with a mix of terrain and cover that supports year-round wildlife activity. The property has benefited from thoughtful planning, with multiple access points to stands and food plots that allow hunters to enter and exit without disturbing key areas. This strategic layout, combined with the natural features of the farm, creates a setup that is effective and easy to manage.
Trail camera history on the property shows a strong deer history, reinforcing the habitat and property layout. The combination of food sources, cover, water, and access contributes to a property that can produce year after year.
Overall, this is a well-rounded hunting property offering strong habitat diversity, excellent access, and significant potential for further development. Whether you are looking for a turnkey hunting farm or a property to continue improving, this tract checks the boxes in a proven area.
