Property Description: Up for online auction is a truly unique farm that has been in the family for almost 60 years! This 156.53 +/- acre property in Stafford County offers a diverse landscape with mature timber, creek bottom, expired CRP, and some of the best hunting Unit 16 has to offer! The Rattlesnake creek runs almost dead center through the property creating the perfect hunting set up for whitetail deer enthusiasts. There are approximately 37.73+/- acres in expired CRP grass south of the creek that is 3-5' tall. The CRP is excellent cover for whitetails, and even better for the upland game. While scouting the property several coveys of quail were spotted and multiple pheasants. North of the creek has approximately 36.13+/- acres of grass and old tillable farmland. At one time there was about 20+/- acres used as farmland. There are multiple places throughout the property that would make great food plot areas to make the hunting even better. The farm has dirt road frontage on the north and west and a private drive access from the south. This farm is extremely secluded creating the perfect place to build your dream home or fix up the current home on the property. With power and water at the old homestead you are two steps closer from starting your dream country home.
Fix Up Home: The home on the property has been vacant and is currently considered abandoned and in "as is, where is" condition. In 2013 the house was winterized and was stopped being used as a residence. It is a 4 bed 1.5 bath with approximately 2,060 sq ft. and would be a great project to remodel and bring back to its former glory as a primary residence or hunting headquarters.
With this property being so unique, secluded, and loaded with potential, this is an auction you do not want to miss!

Definition of 'selling by the acre': A method of sale often used for agricultural or undeveloped acreage in which bids are made based on a per acre price. By way of example, if a 160-acre parcel was offered “by the acre” the high bid may be $5,000 an acre. That amount would then be multiplied times the total acreage to arrive at a total bid price of $800,000 (plus Buyer’s Premium, if applicable). For the purposes of calculating the total sales price, the acreage will be rounded to the nearest whole acre. For example, a parcel with 158.7 acres would be offered as 159 acres or a parcel is 158.3 would be offered as 158 acres.
