This farm is undoubtedly one of what many would call a “Classic” landscape variety in style. Prime creek bottom habitat, hunting, and tillable all wrapped into one property with that classic farm feel. This beautiful farm sits just outside of South Haven and has an outstanding creek bottom with two creeks coming together on the southeast portion of the property. Both Middle Shoo Fly Creek, which meanders right down the entire center of the farm, and also West Shoo Fly Creek come together on this property, making the main channel Shoo Fly Creek flowing on to the south. The current tillable is share-cropped with a local farmer tenant and provides a very nice income to the owner, which is approximately $18,000 to $20,000 net per year!! Combine that aspect of the property and add in the exceptional deer and turkey in this area, and it is certainly a highly productive farm. The creeks are lined all the way through the property with big giant mature timber with a wide range of species, including oak, sycamore, and with a mix of brush and lined with tall grass. The timber diverts back and forth, creating numerous tucked away areas that are not seen from any roads and can be planted to any type of crop or food plot if so desired. The farm has access all along the west side, and there is an additional access road to the NE corner. If the creek has high water, you can always get to the east portion of the farm. The tillable fields maintain excellent soils with Class II soils almost completely throughout, including Elandco, Milan, and Farnum loam soils. The tillable includes 167 acres of current crop along with some heavy grass and old terraced fields on the east half of the farm. This farm also has a 1998 model mobile home that is just right for a hunting cabin or weekend getaway. It has power, septic, and rural water already established. The deer in this area are consistently strong, with great bucks harvested every fall. With the classic habitat mix, the wildlife is comfortable here, and deer and turkeys are always present. The property currently has one Redneck blind and 3 feeders in place, with options for many more enhancements. This is a great opportunity to invest in a classic-style farm in a great area not far off the interstate; please reach out to the listing agent for additional information or to schedule an in-person tour of the property.
