With utilities nearby and multiple elevated build locations, these tracts present a rare opportunity to create a rural homesite while maintaining strong habitat and recreation potential. Whether you’re looking to build, hunt, or invest, these parcels deliver diversity, access, and natural beauty in one offering.

Both properties offer abundant cover with a mix of grasses and native habitat, making them well-suited for continued hunting and recreational use. The north 40 includes a seasonal pond, adding a valuable water source for wildlife.
