Outside of the home there are over 40 fruit and nut trees for the wildlife. In the fall, it looks like a zoo in the yard with all of the wildlife enjoying the harvest. For the whitetail hunter, this place lays out really nice. A large rock-bottom creek borders the entire property on the west side. Large timber draws feed down to two large fields. With a little bit of food plot work, you could really make this property draw in the big bucks. Bordered on 2 sides by the Shawnee National Forest, you are certain to never run out of land.
