Approximately 40 - 45 acres of the property are comprised of 16-18 year old planted pine timber. Complementing the pine are scattered stands of mixed mature native hardwood, featuring species like oak, hickory, and sweetgum, intertwined with massive native pine timber. This diverse arboreal mix is a haven for the native wildlife. Whitetail deer, a frequent visitor, are particularly attracted to the native browse nourished by the various sandy loam soil types. The property has rolling topography with approximately 60 feet of elevation change.
