The 5 acres of improved pasture are fully fenced, located in Flood Zone X, and bordered by a new fence line along the northern edge to be completed prior to closing. The land boasts mature oak, sweet gum, magnolia, and maple trees, abundant wildlife, and a mixture of improved and native grasses, adjacent to the Blue Spring Basin. *Cattle, portable panels, feed bunks and liquid feed tanks Do Not Convey.
