If you have been searching for an affordable hunting property positioned between the right neighbors, this 51± acre farm in Marion County deserves a closer look. Located just west of Bussey and near Twin Cedars Schools, the property sits along a quiet, county-maintained road and is tucked between two large landowners, creating an excellent setup for holding and harvesting mature whitetails. You do not have to own hundreds of acres to consistently hunt big deer you simply need the right piece of ground in the right neighborhood. This tract offers the seclusion, surrounding habitat, and strategic location that serious hunters look for. In addition to its recreational value, the farm provides strong income for a property of this size. Approximately 18 acres are currently in row-crop production and cash rented at $350 per acre. The tillable ground carries an average CSR2 rating of approximately 65. The sellers are open to discussing a long-term farming lease, and the new owner may also have the opportunity to lease additional adjoining acres. The property also features several mature and younger walnut trees, offering potential value from both current and future timber harvests. Small, affordable hunting tracts in proven neighborhoods are increasingly difficult to find. Whether you are looking for a first hunting farm, an addition to your current landholdings, or a recreational investment with dependable income, this Marion County property is well worth a look.
