End-of-road privacy and the lack of any hunting pressure has created a wildlife sanctuary within this property's boundaries. The ranch has not been hunted in several years and has never been commercially hunted or even leased. The well-balanced natural habitat and cover found throughout the ranch offers endless hunting opportunities for native game such as whitetail deer, bobwhite quail, dove, turkey and hogs. The owners have recently implemented a year-round supplemental protein feeding program that has improved and enhanced the native deer herds potential. The ranch has a more topography than one would expect for the region and ranges from 215' to 275' above MSL and has 2 hilltops offering 360 degree views over large neighboring ranches.
