A spring-fed, stocked pond designed for fishing includes underwater ledges and minimal snags, with 10+ lb bass caught and released. A sand beach, gazebo dock, and tropical landscaping add to the resort-like setting. For outdoor enthusiasts, nearly 12 acres are set up as a hunting paradise, featuring a 30-foot elevated stand and a large food plot planted with mature fruit and nut trees to attract deer. This acreage also has future development potential.
