I live on 3.6 severely tilted acres running from the top of the ridge
my house is on down to a wet weather creek then a couple hundred feet up the other side.
I can only get to the bottom by hiking down a zig zag trail I cut in taking advantage of a couple
of deer trails and a old logging road that is halfway down the hill. It's fairly steep with a 300' elevation
change top to bottom.
For discussion purposes the property is shaped like a lower case L (l)
Recently I was able to purchase 3.5 acres that have turned my place into an upper case L (L)
with the lower leg starting about half way down.
This gives me a gate with access to the logging road and another gate into the creek bottom.
What's kind of funny is that it takes me about 10 minutes to drive around from my house to
the gates. There is no road down the hill on our side and I live in the back of our development.
The purchase isn't part of my development and I can hunt, cut firewood, shoot, camp,
really whatever. It's some of the best hunting for miles thanks to being a funnel into a big woods from nearby fields.
I take possession tomorrow and will be working over the logging road, it's grown up, and setting up a few stands.
The seller gave me a sweetheart deal on the place, I got it for about 30% of it's value as a stand alone lot because
he didn't want it developed and he knows I won't do more than put up stands and plant food plots.
As you might guess I am pretty stoked.
