A private driveway runs approximately 1/3 mile back to the property entrance, creating a secluded setting. Just beyond the gate is a 14x40-foot off-grid cabin with garage storage and comfortable living quarters. Solar power with generator backup provides electricity, while a freestanding propane stove supplies heat. It’s a functional setup with room for your gear and a warm place to come back to after the hunt.
The hunting centerpiece is a nearly 3-acre field on the north end. A brassica plot fills the center with soybeans planted in each corner. Standing corn helps shape deer movement and screening. A box blind overlooks the field, with switchgrass helping conceal entry and exit.
In the southeast corner of the field are two close-range stand opportunities that can be hunted on different winds. A nearby water hole within range of both stands adds attraction. On the southwest corner, another stand intercepts deer filtering into the field from the main bedding ridge. Altogether, the layout gives you several ways to hunt the field without relying on a single setup or wind direction.
A primary bedding ridge extends off the main field. This south-facing ridgetop has been kept largely as sanctuary, with pockets of timber stand improvement completed to improve security cover and hold more deer. The main ravine features a smaller food plot and water hole. Picture this spot in early November when bucks are cruising.
South of the cabin, the ridge narrows into a saddle, creating a natural travel corridor. A stand here overlooks the valley plot more than 100 yards below. A small opening with water hole near the end of the ridge adds even more hunting options.
With hunting season underway, there’s no need to spend the next year building a property before you can enjoy it. The cabin, plots, and hunting setups are already in place. Buy it this fall, bring your gear, start hunting it this season.
