PROPERY DESCRIPTION

For hunters, nature lovers and timber growers the mixed pine and hardwood forest on this site is an outstanding example of sandy upland Sand Hills forests. A combination of planted loblolly pine, white oaks, red oaks and sweetgum provide multiple forest management opportunities. The forestry aspect provides current cash flow potential and future timber growth prospects. The presence of white oak, red oak, beech and an assortment of understory plants might appeal to those interested in wildlife habitat quality or just enjoyment of the forest. A variety of holly, magnolia, post oak, maple and basswood demonstrate the presence of well-drained sandy soils.

The timber has been managed since 1957, with tree plantings and harvests through the years. An old field in the Brady Creek bottom area immediately south of the creek was planted with loblolly pine in 1997, and is an impressive stand of timber. Subsequent thinning harvests on this property were done with an eye to long term management, with the most recent harvest around 2015 was selectively marked by a professional forester.
To a large extent the forest is semi- to fully open and is easy to walk. There are locations in the uplands on ridges and high plateau areas that would appear to be suitable for potential building. This Property has portions of two streams on it, with the perennial Brady Creek crossing the northeastern section. A smaller spring-fed branch makes up the southwestern-most boundary. This stream still had some flowing water in it as of the first of September 2023, after a very long dry period.

The area north of Brady Creek contains the old original farmstead dating from the 1830s, and is evidenced by the old log dog-run house located there. The seller indicated that their ancestors added the second room to the original single-room house and converted it to the present dog-run in the 1840s. While the house is not habitable and has not been assessed with any value, it is an interesting historical artifact. There is a water well of unknown depth or utility located just off of the southwest corner of the old log house, indicated by the above-ground cement pipe.

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 on a county road six miles south of Center, with all but the last quarter-mile on oil-topped road. County Road 1036 has about a half-mile of frontage on the Property, and appears to have been well-maintained with rock, a modern concrete-and-steel bridge, and turnouts.

This property is currently under Ag/Timber Valuation on the taxes. Land taxes using the Shelby Appraisal District 2023 Tax records are shown as $278.97 with timber/ag exemptions. Land may be subject to agricultural or other valuations that may be subject to roll back taxes if the use of the land is changed or a new application for such valuation is not tendered to the appropriate appraisal district by the purchaser.
