Jefferson County Hunting Honey Hole

A secluded yet accessible hunting property in the heart of Jefferson County. This 145.6-acre tract—carved off from the renowned Whitetail Country Estates—offers a dynamic mix of mature timber, river frontage, and proven habitat in an area famous for trophy whitetails.

Set along a quiet dead-end road, this property delivers the kind of access and wind flexibility hunters dream of. With nearly ½ mile of Skunk River frontage and two seasonal creeks feeding into it, the layout naturally funnels wildlife through the property. It’s not just deer—this corridor supports strong turkey populations and reliable pheasant activity due to excellent surrounding habitat.

Built-In Income + Habitat Diversity

There are 14 FSA acres currently planted in alfalfa, cash rented at $150/acre annually, offering a turnkey income source. You’ll also find plenty of room to carve out your own custom food plots or introduce other forages like soybeans. During the fall migration, waterfowl frequent the Skunk River corridor, and a small boat can be launched from the bank for fishing or hunting.

Recreational Infrastructure Already In Place

The established trail system runs from the northwest corner to the southeast, offering seamless access for stand entry, food plot prep, or habitat work. At the heart of the farm, an old summer camp cabin stands as a blank canvas for a future hunting lodge or weekend getaway. Two stilted treehouses add a unique touch—perfect for youth hunts or a rustic overnight stay.

Don’t overlook the 6.5-acre pine thicket on the west side—a rare and valuable habitat feature. Combined with scattered walnut and oak, this tract has the kind of timber value and habitat layering serious landowners look for. Select harvesting could be done here without disrupting the property’s wildlife appeal.
