Overview

This tract offers a mix of hardwood timber, regenerating timber, and thick cover, positioned for quality hunting and year-round wildlife activity. Following a recent select timber harvest, the property has created openings that can support food plots and improve travel corridors. Internal trails help you move throughout the land using ATV, UTV, or horseback, and several openings and level areas offer potential cabin or campsite locations for a weekend getaway or hunting camp.

The property is surrounded on multiple sides by the Shawnee National Forest and directly borders the Garden of the Gods Wilderness Area. It also sits adjacent to the Hitching Post Trailhead, providing immediate access to miles of equestrian and hiking trails. Unlike many remote tracts, the land includes paved road frontage for easier, year-round access.

For buyers seeking outdoor recreation acreage with built-in trail connectivity and practical access, this setup supports day-to-day use without relying solely on off-property travel. The combination of forest adjacency, nearby trail access, and established internal routes can be a strong fit for hunters and horse enthusiasts looking to secure a private tract for seasonal or full-time use.
