The property has just shy of 4 acres of hardwood timber along the north side offering a good hunting spot along the long east to west ridge.
Farm 2:
Tract 1: 8 +/- Acres Located off Burke Hollow Rd. This tract is an excellent offering if you are looking for a smaller hunting tract or a place for a cabin or camper site. The property lies on both sides of the road offering multiple stand locations and has a nice rolling access for easy walking and good wildlife holding capacity. The timber stand is oaks and a few very mature, high quality black walnuts. If harvested this would also benefit the remaining timber and thicken the under growth.

The property offers many additional out buildings including a nice 99 x 45 machine shed with multiple large doors and high sideways for storing large equipment.
