Everybody wants timber, right? Well, here you go, this property maintains a very high percentage of large quality timber over rolling Chautauqua County terrain, creating a deer hunter's dream. There is a trail system already in place to service several wells on the property, which allows to get around easily to various parts of the farm where blinds, feeders, and also, some small food plots can be implemented. The timber has a great variety to it, both in size and species. Many small to large white, red, blackjack, and pin oaks, with a mixture of hickory, sycamore, hackberry, and persimmon, make for lots of attractants. There are two ponds on the property that hold bass, perch, and catfish. The larger pond is spring fed and has always maintained water over the years which is always key for wildlife staying close by. Current ownership has not grazed the property with livestock for many years and therefore has had excellent success with harvesting great Whitetail's, tons of turkeys, and other small game, which are also prevalent. Also, a large section of acres have always been set aside as a year-round sanctuary that has provided a safe haven for lots of deer during the hunting seasons, and the animals have learned this property is the place to find refuge. The rolling terrain creates several large timber flats that the deer love to run during the rut. There are numerous vantage points even within the timber where it opens up and would be superior setup locations to catch bucks on the move. With strong habitat, and the ability to build some management practices with additional food sources, this farm will certainly allow for some early and late season type hunting as well. There is electric and rural water along the west property border with county road access that can be developed with some work to build a small cabin for a hunting lodge. If you have a strong interest in a heavily timbered deer and turkey farm, this farm has its fair share. Please contact the listing agent to set up a viewing opportunity.
