Over the past two decades, the seller has thoughtfully planted more than 3,000 trees, including crabapple, pear, plum, cherry, paw-paw, and sawtooth oaks, creating a diverse and thriving habitat. A strategically placed 7-acre clear-cut done to improve Golden-winged warbler habitat now provides excellent bedding cover for whitetail deer, enhancing the property significantly for serious hunters. Additionally, a planted 4-acre warm-season grass field features mowed shooting lanes extending in all directions from a well-placed treestand, perfect for intercepting scent-checking bucks during the rut. For hunters, the property is coming fully equipped with 15 tree stands and a premium Redneck Blind, all thoughtfully positioned for optimal success. Over 2 miles of UTV trails allow for easy navigation, game retrieval, and year-round access to all areas of the land. Wildlife conservation is a key feature, with over 17 acres enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) with USDA FSA, preserving the riparian zone along Walker Creek. This not only enhances the ecosystem but also provides exceptional habitat for whitetail deer, wild turkey, and many other native species. Whether you’re looking for a premier hunting property, an equestrian estate, or just a home with the best view in the Shenandoah Valley, this one-of-a-kind opportunity delivers in every aspect.
