It also offers perfect conditions for upland bird or dove hunting and even running retriever field trials with water features, like the small watering hole.

A 24' x 50' metal building with lean-tos on each side provides ample space for storing tractors, ATVs, or other farm equipment, and the back portion has been partially converted into living quarters, making it the perfect spot to set up a hunting camp or weekend retreat. For additional lodging and rustic charm, an old cabin sits on the property and could serve as a guest bunkhouse or be renovated into a cozy off-grid escape.

The land's beauty, versatility, and privacy make it a phenomenal all-around property ideal for anyone seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle, a recreational getaway, or a productive agricultural or timber investment.
