The Sharecropper Tract is an extremely rare find.  Seldom does a legacy property with as much character as this property come on the market in this area.  The Sharecropper Tract was once farmed by a sharecropper, thus the name.   In addition, to this rich heritage there are additional historical properties associated with this property that I will share with the new owner. 

The property has been in the same family for many generations and has been intensely managed for both timber production as well as wildlife.  There are multiple stands of pine timber in various ages.  There is a large stand of planted hardwoods that is more than twenty years old.  Additionally, the owners have planted pear trees and sawtooth oaks throughout to provide additional food for the wildlife.  I also spotted several large persimmon trees as well.    

The property is easily accessible via county road 63, a paved road.  There is both power and water available at the road.  As you enter the property through the main gate, you traverse through some large timber and within a couple of hundred yards enter a small field.  A perfect place to build your own cabin or house. 

The property has a great internal road system and is flat to gently rolling.  All corners of the property can easily be reached via a vehicle. 

The property is on a scheduled maintenance plan with fire rotations every two years.  The property has fire lanes around the perimeter. 

The hunting on this property is phenomenal.  While touring the property with the owner, we rode into one of the lower fields, only to find two big gobblers strutting their stuff.  While watching the turkeys, the owner shared with me some of the great hunts they had through the years.  To sum it up, one of the turkeys harvested on their property won a local turkey contest.  Although we didn’t see any deer there is no doubt they have them.  Additionally, there is a secret duck hole that has created many memories for the family. 

There are over 21 acres of fields that are strategically located to enhance the properties wildlife.  There are some in the upper elevations as well as some lower bottom fields.  Over the years, the owners planted some of the fields for doves and had some great shoots.  Additionally, they rotate the planting of their fields to help provide natural habitat for wildlife. 

Although the property does not have extreme long range shooting capabilities, there are some areas that would challenge the average shooter.  If one was so inclined, it is easy to find shots out to 500 yards. 

If you are looking for a turnkey recreational and timber investment property in one of the best hunting locations in the south, then this is the place for you.  Come create your family’s legacy on the Sharecropper Tract. Give me a call to schedule your showing.
