There are planted pines, both slash pines & long leaf pines that are approximately 14 years old, on the property that gives it an agriculture timber tax exemption. In planting the pines, all large oak trees were left in place, creating a beautiful landscape. The rest of the acreage has hardwood trees and some clearings for grazing. The back NW couple of acres holds water which draws in the wild game. Deer & turkey frequent the property. The location, acreage, & set up creates extreme privacy, quiet, & peaceful living!
