Details
1880 +/- acres that has been strategically managed on a strict big buck management program and turkey habitat program since 1999. Marshall County is one of the # 1 turkey populations in the state of Mississippi with a 45-day season beginning March 15th. In the mid 1990's the state had a turkey population stocking program in Marshall County and this farm was the drop off site for years until the turkey population was established in the area. The property is high fenced along the south property line with over 5.5 miles of game high fence protecting the property and the east and west property lines are bordered by large property owners with little to no hunting pressure. There are 25 small to medium sized ponds scattered throughout the property and 19 established food plots and planted lanes totaling over 125 acres, all with enclosed deer stands overlooking the plots. These stands will remain with the property. The main entrance into the farm is a private gated gravel drive located off of Hwy. 4 and there are 4 other gated entrances on the south end of the property coming off of Wilkins Chapel Rd. There is an extensive road system all through the property with large roads making all areas of the farm accessible for equipment and easy to travel for hunting purposes. The farm consists mainly of 20- to 30-year-old managed pine timber with some scattered hardwoods throughout. The timber has been strategically managed and on an annual large scale burning program for the timber management and wildlife enhancement. The annual burn program and rotation on the entire farm has provided understory and natural forage at different stages providing ample nutrition and protein for the deer herd as well as the perfect bedding areas. This habitat that has been created on the farm is also pristine for nesting and brooding seasons for the turkey population. Electricity is accessible to a large part of this farm and there are many great homesites or cabin sites scattered throughout. There are currently 3 equipment sheds on the farm. This is incredible recreational and hunting tract of land with great opportunity for 4-wheeler riding, motorcycle riding or trail riding on horseback. Located very close to Sardis Lake for use during the summer for lake activities and great fishing. The property is an easy drive from the Memphis area, Desoto Co. and Oxford. Seller is willing to divide property into large acreage tracts.
