About this House
What's unique:Two water sourcesNatural travel corridorsEstablished internal trail systemValuable marketable timberStrategically connected terrainThick thermal cover
This 180-acre turnkey hunting property in Jackson County’s Town of Franklin represents a rare opportunity for the serious whitetail hunter, having been intentionally managed to grow, hold, and hunt mature whitetails. Located in a low-pressure, quality deer management neighborhood surrounded by large privately owned tracts and like-minded landowners, this property offers the habitat, access, food, water, and management history serious hunters look for. The land has been carefully managed with an emphasis on balancing the doe-to-buck ratio and allowing bucks to reach maturity, with harvest strictly restricted to mature bucks 5.5 years and older to help establish an exceptional age structure. Property highlights include 180 acres of diverse habitat featuring oak ridges, premium black walnut, thick thermal cover, natural travel corridors, bedding areas, and strategically connected terrain, alongside 45 tillable acres that provide potential annual cash-rent income while serving as a major agricultural food source for wildlife. Additionally, valuable marketable timber offers both immediate and long-term investment potential, where selective harvesting can also be used to enhance bedding and wildlife habitat. For the hunter, exceptional top and bottom access allows individuals to strategically enter and exit based on wind direction while minimizing pressure on bedding areas and food sources, while an established internal trail system provides quiet access throughout the property to make stand access, property management, and game retrieval easier. Furthermore, it serves as premier late-season habitat, as the property's topography and thick thermal cover create an established wintering area that attracts and holds deer during colder months. Natural food sources include extensive oak ridges providing hard mast along with scattered apple trees offering additional seasonal attraction, while two water sources, including a recently excavated 20-foot-deep stocked pond, provide year-round water for wildlife along with recreational opportunities, all rounded out by three premium elevated, enclosed hunting blinds.
