The road to sound spans 4,000 feet, a remarkable distance of almost a mile. Within this expanse, one can choose between three captivating hunting grounds: the secluded impound, the serene marsh ponds, or the resounding sound itself. The impound has neatly planted rows of pine trees at the front of the property. Beyond lies a canal, followed by a dike embracing a picturesque 10-acre impoundment divided into four sections by drainage ditches. A charming pond graces the left side of the impoundment, while the dike boasts meticulously mowed grass and tree-lined edges. Moving towards the sound, the pine trees gradually give way to enchanting marshlands with multiple ponds that attract a plethora of birds and a thriving deer population. The property also includes 30-35 acres of 20-23-year-old planted pines, selectively pruned for stunning vistas. Notably, the area passed a perk test a few years ago, allowing for potential cabin construction. In total, this pristine estate spans 71 acres of natural beauty. The impoundment is flooded with the assistance of two 35 hp 6-inch diesel pumps, while the surrounding canal provides ample water storage, often replenished by rainfall. Pintails, Black ducks, Mallards, Widgeon, and Gadwall are a common sight. Recent ditch re-digging ensures efficient drainage, quickly rendering the fields bone dry. A path towards the sound has been initiated, with the possibility of reaching the water's edge and wading knee-deep to arrange decoys. Eight years ago, the dike and canal area were cleared, leaving behind a picturesque expanse of easily mowable grass. Additionally, a neighboring 17-acre property is available for potential combination. While the current owners' interests have shifted to offshore fishing, this extraordinary land awaits new admirers.
