Description
Two tracts for one price! I will begin with the 14.5 acres on the Big Muddy River. The river runs right through this tract. There is an old structure on the riverbank that could possibly be refurbished. The timber acres consist of some thick understory areas and some mature timber. The deer seem to be using both sides of the river as natural travel corridors and should make for some great stand locations. With the river in play, I would also have to believe there is some potential for waterfowl hunting.
The 19.47 acres on Water Road catch my eye for many reasons. First, this is some of the closest high ground west of the river and lies outside the floodplain and should provide the wildlife in the area a dry place to hide out during those wet times. Next, whenever I hear someone describing deer cover, this tract will immediately come to mind. A portion of these acres is an old grown-up vineyard and is extremely thick. The remaining acres had a select timber harvest roughly 10 years ago, which has allowed for a lot of new growth for the natural vegetation. On my tour of the property, I found countless deer trails, crossings and old tree rubs. If someone could clear a few acres for food plots in the old vineyard, this property would bring the already great whitetail hunting to an even higher level. Additionally, with this being so close to Rend Lake, I believe this tract could be divided into smaller parcels for multiple home sites, cabins, or even a campground. To schedule your private tour of these 2 tracts, please contact Land Specialists Clyde Hutchinson and Josh Malone at any time.
