Description
Tucked away in the heart of southern Pike County, this property delivers exceptional versatility and appeal—an offering that rarely hits the market. Set along scenic Buck Branch Road just south of Nebo, it’s positioned in a region famed for outstanding whitetail hunting and thriving wildlife. The surrounding landscape is a patchwork of interconnected habitat, ideal for supporting trophy deer and abundant game year after year.
The property features a blend of thick bedding cover, rolling hills, established food plots, and scattered timber, providing a dynamic mix of terrain for both recreation and hunting. At the southwestern entrance off Buck Branch Road, you’ll find a welcoming lodge and a handy storage building. The 1,620 sq ft lodge boasts two generous bedrooms, a full bath, and an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area anchored by a cozy fireplace. Step out onto the east-facing porch to take in sunrise views across the hills, or enjoy the insulated, heated two-car garage—a perfect workshop or four-season hangout adjoining the lodge.
A nearby 36’x45’ pole barn offers even more storage with partial concrete flooring, electricity, and an overhead door—ready for all your gear. The lodge’s warm, rustic style makes it an inviting retreat for families or groups, with plenty of room to relax after a day outdoors. Just steps away, a private shooting range is ideal for target practice or friendly competitions.
One of the property’s highlights is a large, three-acre stocked pond with a swim dock, perfect for fishing or cooling off in the summer. The land itself is a blend of hardwood pockets, rolling tillable ground, and strategically placed food plots to draw deer and wildlife from every direction. North of the lodge, the landscape rises and opens into even more hunting opportunities, including thick bedding cover, a hidden pond, and excellent connecting habitat for deer and turkey movement.
Multiple stand sites, well-placed blinds, and easy access by foot, ATV, or E-bike make this an outstanding hunting setup with room for everyone. The entire property is being offered turn-key—fully furnished and equipped so you can enjoy it from day one. Whether your passion is hunting, fishing, or simply relaxing in a peaceful country setting, this southern Pike County retreat has everything you need for unforgettable days in the outdoors.
