Are you ready to get away from the hustle and bustle and settle into the quiet country life? This 96.05 acre tract located in Franklin County has a diverse landscape that is suited for many uses. With over 725 feet of frontage on Colonial Turnpike and trails throughout, access for building, farming and hunting is a breeze. This property contains 27+ acres of open ground with the remainder being wooded. The open ground is currently being used for hay, but it has been used for corn and soy bean production in the past. The large open pasture would also be perfect for livestock or horses. Approximately 26 acres of the open ground is contiguous, but there is a 1.25 acre field tucked away at the back of the property near the creek that would make a perfect hidden food plot for hunting. The wooded acres are a mix of mostly hardwood timber. Select timbering has been done on this property in the past allowing the remaining oak and hardwood timber plenty of room to grow and produce mast crops for the wildlife that live here. Multiple deer were seen while walking this property and there is plenty of deer and turkey sign throughout. Bear populations are healthy in this area and it is not uncommon to see one foraging acorns or roaming the creek bottom. Many aspects make this property appealing. The two that make it most unique are the mountain views and creek frontage. There are unbelievable views of Chestnut Mountain from multiple sites. Being able to enjoy those views from your quiet country home would be nothing short of amazing. With approximately 740 feet of frontage on beautiful Big Chestnut Creek you can enjoy time with family camping, wading and fishing from your own property. A 10x20 storage shed and farm truck will convey with the property and there is also a great rustic tobacco barn at the front of the property. This barn can be used for additional storage or if you are handy maybe even fixed up into a hunting cabin. There is a John Deere 1025 tractor with implements and a Kawasaki Prairie ATV that are also available for consideration to interested buyers.
Additional outdoor recreation is close at hand as well. It is a short 15 minute drive to Turkeycock Mountain Wildlife Management Area (WMA). This WMA has 2,679 acres and lies along the ridge of Turkeycock Mountain. This WMA is predominantly a forested landscape with several wildlife openings located throughout.
