Properties offering this combination of recreational enjoyment and investment potential are increasingly difficult to find, making this tract an excellent opportunity for the outdoor enthusiast, timber investor, or landowner looking for a property with multiple avenues of value. The property offers public road frontage along Merritt Road with utilities available, providing convenient access and added flexibility for future use. Gated access along the eastern boundary provides an additional point of entry and creates opportunities for afuture subdivide. The combination of access, utilities, and acreage gives the next owner options that are not commonly found in a property of this size. One of the most impressive features is approximately 2,000 feet of frontage on the Leaf River, offering year-round enjoyment and recreational opportunities. Whether you're interested in fishing, hunting, exploring, wildlife observation, or simply enjoying the peace and natural beauty of riverfront acreage, the river adds significant appeal and versatility to the property. Wildlife habitat is another major highlight. The property supports abundant large and small game, with dense foliage throughout providing high-protein browse and bedding cover. The diverse habitat creates an excellent setting for hunting and other outdoor recreation while maintaining the natural character and privacy of the tract. The property also features an excellent, high-volume stand of timber, including an abundance of mast-producing hardwoods throughout. This mature timber provides beauty and valuable wildlife habitat, while also offering the potential for an immediate or long-term financial return depending on the goals and management strategy of the new owner. The combination of mature timber and river frontage makes this an especially attractive opportunity for someone seeking both recreational enjoyment and investment potential. With approximately 237 acres, 2,000 feet of river frontage, mature timber, abundant wildlife, public road frontage, available utilities, and gated access along the eastern boundary, this property offers a level of versatility that is difficult to replicate. Whether your vision is a private hunting and recreational retreat, a long-term timber investment, a riverfront getaway, or a property with the potential to subdivide, this Greene County tract deserves serious consideration. Additional land available. Owner/agent.
