242 Acre Cattle & Recreational Tract with a Home

WELCOME TO THE SUMTER 242, A PREMIER CATTLE FARM AND HUNTING PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE HEART OF THE HIGHLY SOUGHT-AFTER BLACK BELT OF ALABAMA. This 242± acre property features a cross-fenced, turnkey, cattle-ready 64± acre open pasture near the front. Towards the back, the remaining acreage consists of a diverse mix of merchantable and pre-merchantable timber. The Sumter County property also offers three lakes, ranging from 1± to 6.5± acres in size. Ballard Creek runs through the center of the land, providing a year-round water source for wildlife and offering fishing opportunities for families. You will find four large fields, approximately 2.5 to 5 acres each, ideal for planting cereal grains or legumes to attract wildlife, replanting trees for investment, or other meticulous plans to create bedding, nesting cover, and food sources for wildlife. Several smaller food plots are strategically positioned across the property, and an extensive road system allows for excellent hunting ingress and egress. The Sumter 242 is surrounded by large landowners and has a strong history of supporting and holding large deer. With its natural features and history, the opportunities to grow and hunt trophy deer are highly practical. The property includes a 1,600± square foot, 2002 Belmont double-wide mobile home, which offers three bedrooms, two baths, and a large roofed front porch. The home serves well as a weekend hunting camp or, with some TLC, can become a primary residence for a family. There is also an older camphouse on the property that holds little monetary value but is rich in history. A private well and established utilities make this home move-in ready. If you are looking for a large tract with excellent hunting, fishing, and other income opportunities, the Sumter 242 is worth a visit.
