Hillsboro 292 - 292+/- Acres Recreational Property with Row Crop, Creeks, and Duck ImpoundmentThis conveniently located 292-Acre tract offers an excellent mix of row crop ground, productive hardwood bottoms, and strong recreational potential.Land The property has a diverse layout with approximately 37 acres currently in row crop production. Another 50 acres are in mixed pine/hardwood timber, and the remaining 205 acres consist of hardwood creek bottoms with several running creeks. The woods are open and clean with a good internal road system that provides access to most of the tract. Several smaller food plots are scattered throughout, ready for hunting stands.The topography is mostly flat and easy to walk or traverse.Water The property features roughly 1 mile of Mallard Creek and a half mile of Prairie Creek, along with several smaller feeder streams. There is also a 4-acre natural impoundment on Prairie Creek with flooded timber. Ducks are regularly seen using the area, and with some improvements, this could become a solid waterfowl hunting spot.Timber The timber is diverse and well-developed. In the SMZ areas you'll find mature hardwoods, including some nice white and red oaks. The majority of the creek bottom hardwoods are in the 20- to 30-year-old range and include various oaks, poplar, sweetgum, and hickory. The stand has a good understory with solid lines of sight and a clean forest floor. Several pockets of mature loblolly pine are present and could be thinned and burned to encourage native grasses and forbs.Recreation This tract offers outstanding hunting opportunity. Sign is abundant across the property, and the current row crop fields provide an excellent natural food source.
