PROPERY DESCRIPTION

This is an attractive property with a nice bottomland on a perennial creek and uplands in its southern area. This land would be excellent for a weekend place, a hunting camp or just for growing timber. It has excellent county road access; is a half hour or less from medical care and shopping; located in a quiet rural area with few scattered neighbors; and has highly productive well-drained bottomland soils supporting a native pine and hardwood forest.

Known locally as the Sand Hills area, the well-drained sandy soils support species such as American holly, beech, post oak, red and Florida maple and basswood. The creeks are sandy-bottomed, with a fair-sized wet weather creek running south to north from the south boundary to Brady Creek, which is a good-sized perennial stream along the proposed northern boundary. The understory is fairly open and it is easy to traverse this land on foot. The wildlife habitat is in good condition given the native mixed-species forest and Brady Creek.

The forest has been carefully managed since 1957, with thinning harvests being done with an eye to long term management, most being selectively marked by a professional forester. The forest is dominated by scattered patches of large, high-quality pine sawtimber, moderate numbers of smaller-sized pine and hardwood trees and a decent component of young pine and hardwood. There are several dense patches of larger pine sawlogs that have heavy volumes per acre.

The combination of native species such as white oak, cherrybark red oak, water oak, black oak, loblolly pine and sweetgum provide multiple forest management opportunities, current cash flow potential and future timber growth prospects. The well-drained sandy loam creek bottom soils along Brady Creek comprise 55% of this parcel, and are highly productive sites for growing timber. The rest of the property is upland sandy loams that are also good soils for forest growth.

The quality and quantity of young white oak and red oak trees on this property really caught this foresters eye given what hardwood sawtimber markets have done on the past few decades, favoring the better-quality hardwoods could be a reasonable long-term management strategy for this land.

This Property being offered is the portion of a 76.978-acre tract located south of Brady Creek, which will make up its northern and western boundary. The acreage of this to-be-surveyed Southern Parcel has been estimated at about 39 acres, but will require a new survey to determine the exact acreage. Prospective buyers should be aware that the final acreage could vary beyond 10% of the estimate. The approximately 37.9 acres laying north of Brady Creek is also being offered for sale separately. If both parcels are still available, the sellers would consider a consolidated offer.

Please note the mapping provided in the downloadable documents section, as well as the original deed to the parent 76.978-acre tract. The eastern boundary is County Road 1036; the western and northern boundary is Brady Creek; the southern boundary is unmarked through the woods. About 1,600 feet of County Road 1036 is the eastern boundary, running from Brady Creek at the concrete-and-steel bridge south to the southeastern corner in the vicinity of a T-post in the western road ditch.

This property is located a short drive from supplies, shopping and health care in Center. The land is about four miles off of Highway 96 six miles south of Center, with all but the last half-mile of the county roads being oil-topped.
