The Little Wabash River forms the entire eastern boundary of the property, providing numerous opportunities to enjoy the water.

There are also several areas suitable for tent camping, making this an ideal weekend getaway for hunters, fishermen, or the entire family. The property offers a diverse mix of terrain, timber, river frontage, and thick wildlife cover.

With the existing habitat and ability to improve food sources, this property offers tremendous potential for someone looking to develop a highly productive hunting tract. Wildlife is abundant. While walking the property, numerous deer and turkeys were observed, including hens with poults, providing a firsthand indication of the quality of the habitat and the property's ability to support wildlife. Adding even more value, a portion of the property is currently enrolled in CRP, providing an income source that can help with property taxes and potentially contribute toward loan payments. This makes the property not only a recreational asset but also an opportunity to generate income while enjoying it. Whether your passion is hunting whitetails and turkey, fishing, bow-fishing, kayaking, camping, wildlife watching, or simply having a private place to escape, this property has something to offer. The combination of river frontage, established wildlife habitat, hunting potential, recreational opportunities, and CRP income makes this an extremely versatile 89.74 acre tract.
