A 200 was killed here within the last decade. Simply put, this property grows impressive whitetails every year. The hunting strategy is dialed, where the stands were set for specific winds, travel routes, and archery shot opportunities so that when the best days arrive, the setups give shot opportunities.

The Morton building houses the equipment that is included in the offering a Kubota tractor, Great Plains drill, John Deere planter, Can-Am UTV, implements, and two Rambo electric bikes.The asking price should be considered this way: the 523 acres of land is effectively priced around $8,000 per acre, with around $500,000 of additional value in the Morton building, farm equipment, blinds, stands, feeders, and a fully furnished cabin that is included.
