Temporarily Off Market call or e-mail for informationIts 10:12pm on a typical Saturday evening. I dont know what its like where you are, but here there isnt a sound other than crickets & frogs a few hours earlier the doves were cooing their evening call to each other. Some nights an owl or whippoorwill might chime in with an occasional coyote or two. I suppose later this evening you might hear the freight train that runs through Afton about 5 miles away. When its hunting season coon hounds baying in the distance add their voices.       I said typical but what I mean is always. Its always this quiet. Day time is not much different. Pretty much year round. Ive lived on this farm since 1996 when I bought it from my brother, but Ive been coming out here since 1955 when my granddad owned it. Im the 4th generation in this family to call this place home. No matter what is going on in the rest of the world, its always quiet here. (grandkids not included)       Now on the 4th of July you can hear the distant noise of a half dozen major fireworks displays going on around the lake & nearby towns. There is a 35 tower out in the middle of the pasture that allows you to see them all. But if you hear noise loud enough to wake the baby you probably made it yourself. And if noise is your thing there is no limit to how much or how loud or how late.       Around Thanksgiving we have some neighbors that live out on the highway who go all out with Christmas decorations, but there are only two lights that you can see from this place. A tower light a mile away in Bernice & a yard light thats about the same distance. Other than that, its the sun, moon & stars. Next month tho 10,000,000 lightning bugs will flood the yard & adjoining hay meadow that borders two sides of the house all the way out to the pound & beyond. Last year we literally waded out thru them with the grandbabies. They were floating all around us as if we were inside a snow-globe full of fireflies.  It was like something out of a Disney movie. .     No buildings other than your own are visible from here. Its an all natural setting, so peaceful & serene its easy to forget the world is in such turmoil. Speaking of which, if you see the writing on the wall as well as I do, you could not ask for a better place to ride out the storm. With three water sources ( a 6 deep pond, a spring & a cold water well ) lots of wildlife for you carnivores & all the acres you need to grow whatever you like to eat for all the vegans. Growing naturally in abundance are walnut trees/ blackberries/persimmons w/wild grapes not so abundant, and  producing plum trees & a pear tree I planted myself. Add to that wild onions, watercress & mushrooms & you got yourself a feast. Life is sustainable on this property.       Of the 140acres, about 65 is in mature hardwood. The majority are oak hickory & walnut. These are mature trees some of which were standing when this was still Indian territory. Back before my brother sold out we spent several years looking for land with trees. Most of the time when the ad said timber we would arrive to find new growth trees about as big around as your leg & 20 tall. Thats not the case here. However in the 16 years Ive been here I have selected certain portions to create habitat & its pretty wooly. This area is not included in the 65 acres. If the trees are of no interest to you they can be sold to the pulp-ers who have repeatedly expressed an interest. I never got a price as I was not remotely interested in clearing the trees.       So that leaves about 65 acres in pasture. Of the pasture that is smooth enough to bale you can harvest about 110 round bales of prairie hay-fescue-yellow hop clover. These run on average around 1100 lbs each. The pasture/pond will comfortably support 40 head of cattle year round. With a  near perfect balance of timber & hollows and flat level pasture this land is ideal for a horse ranch type of operation. Although the only barn is over 100 yrs old & unusa
