The Premier 96 Acre Clear Creek Hunting Retreat or Homestead in Vernon Coun

Quietly tucked away at the end of a county road is this 96 +/- acre hunter or homesteader's dream come true. As you turn into the property, you are greeted by a beautiful 10 acres of fenced clearings with native grass and small trees providing the perfect spot for a small herd of livestock or horses. A sizable 2-story barndominium is nestled against mature oaks and boasts nearly 4,000 square feet of living space, making it the ideal hunting lodge or home for the family looking for a quiet life away from the big city. With plenty of room for gardens and even a greenhouse or two, you could be self-sustainable in no time. Several outbuildings provide cover for lawnmowers, tractors, and even a couple of dozen chickens if you desire. Inside the home, you are greeted with wood floors, oak cabinets, and a Harman pellet stove, all together making the large living space feel cozy and warm. The open kitchen is equipped with quartz countertops, an electric range, two ovens, a fridge/freezer, along with an extra-large freezer in the utility room. The enclosed sunroom and large open deck are the perfect spot for morning coffee as you listen to the bobwhite quail singing their song and reminding you of the peace and serenity this place provides. Across from the kitchen is the first room with a half bath just across the hallway. At the end of the hall, you are greeted with two bedrooms with large walk-in closets and a shared full bath. Up the stairs, the second floor consists of 2 rooms, a large closet, and an oversized full bath, making this a great place for kids, guests, or even a game room. Double doors lead to a deck with stunning views of the open fields and the best opportunity to catch that perfect sunset after a long day. Leaving the house, you head down a winding trail among the towering oak trees and the ferns carpeting the forest floor, and you begin to feel transported back in time. The abundance of deer, turkey, and other wildlife is proof that the ecosystem here is just as it was hundreds of years ago, providing a necessary sanctuary from the open fields to the west. As the slopes turn into flat ground, you start passing through large clear cuts that are begging for your hunting blind, which would give you a front row seat to that Clear Creek buck chasing a doe in the fall. Placing a couple of food plots in these cuts would be the ideal backdrop to call in that long-bearded gobbler in the spring. With some extra dirt work, you could flood these flats for some incredible duck hunting as well. On the far east end, Clear Creek winds elegantly through the mature oaks, walnuts, and sycamores. The banks are dotted with wild paw paw orchards, creating a quiet refuge among the babbling creek, along with a delicious treat in the fall. The multiple wet-weather creeks and draws leading down the hill to the creek provide a natural funnel for deer who have been out all night feeding on over 8,000 acres of pasture and crop ground nearby. A trail system throughout the 96 +/- acre property helps navigate the changing terrain and provides access to areas that would normally be inaccessible. You rarely see ground under 100 acres that provides this much diverse habitat and hunting opportunity in one spot.
