AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES

WILDLIFE
The mixture of mature forest, farm fields, and fruit trees, coupled with the water supply from the spring and from little creek, create the perfect wildlife habitat. The “edge effect” created between streams, farm fields, and forests is the textbook habitat for the resident wildlife. The deer, bear and turkey population is particularly impressive. The edges create long wildlife food plots and The hardwood forest that produces tons of acorns, hickory nuts, beech nuts, walnuts, and soft mast. White-tail deer, black bear, red/gray fox, bobcat, wild turkey, squirrel, raccoon, fox, and many species of songbirds, eagles, owls, and hawks make up the resident wildlife population. It is hard to find a property that has a better mix of wildlife,
There are many animals around the edges of the little creek that flows year-round, and with the national forest almost completely surrounding the property but not touching, the hunting, biking, hiking, camping, and ATV riding just minutes away, make this a tremendous recreational property.
