This 157 acre Linn County farm truly has it all. Pulling in from the road onto the beautifully maintained grass meadow your eyes will be immediately drawn to the timbered creek bottom to the south. The South Fork Little Sugar Creek meanders through the property, surrounded by mature hardwood timber and fertile bottom ground perfect for that secluded food plot location. The creek runs through a valley that creates a perfect funnel for deer as they move from bedding cover to food. Turkeys roost in the giant sycamores along the creek and I have personally seen them every time I have visited this farm. There is a small, well maintained cabin along the creek set up to run on a generator, and gas heat for weekend stays with the family or for hunting camp. As you leave the seclusion of the timber and travel north you cross a beautiful grass prairie and hay field that could be returned to production to provide income as well as another food source to draw in wildlife. Strips of clover have been planted in several places, and deer can be seen in these fields year round taking advantage of them. Past the fields on the hilltop you will descend into three small fields surrounded by timbered draws and fence lines. Deer bed in the cedar thicket and the brushy edges here. A tower blind that will remain with the property sits in the corner of a fencerow, strategically placed to be able to see deer as they come out of the bedding cover. The cedar thicket has been treated as a sanctuary by the owner who only enters to seed and maintain the rye grass planted there. The largest of four ponds sits alongside the cedars and is stocked with bass and crappie.
