Affordable Recreational Property On The Skunk River

If you’ve been waiting on the right small tract to consistently tag a good buck each year—something simple to hunt during the rut and priced lower per acre than most listings out there—this one deserves a hard look. This would be a perfect place for aspiring landowners and first-time buyers who want a sweet little hunting property and have a modest budget.This property sits along the Skunk River, with water access and a strip of timber that hugs the river’s edge. It forms a natural travel corridor where deer move along cover and cross at a nearby sandbar. It’s a textbook pinch and rut funnel—tight, defined, and ideal for bowhunting. The kind of spot that can give you a chance at a mature buck each November just because of how it lays.There’s also potential for some fun waterfowl hunts with the river frontage. It’s within a short flight of Lake Darling, a known refuge for ducks and geese during the fall migration.Lake Darling is just over a mile south and offers fishing, camping, and hiking. Brinton Timber is about a mile southeast provides hiking trails, and is a no-hunting refuge as well.The property is easily accessible from Dogwood Avenue, which is set to be paved soon.
