0 Autumn Rd, Malone, FL 32445

Description

This 74± acre hunting and recreational property in Malone, Florida has been extensively improved and thoughtfully managed with whitetail deer hunting as the primary focus. Designed and maintained by a dedicated gamekeeper, this tract offers an excellent setup for serious hunters looking for a property with established habitat improvements, strong deer genetics, and outstanding future hunting potential.

The longleaf pine portions of the property were recently prescribed burned in March, creating exceptional new undergrowth and native browse production that is already providing quality forage and cover for deer and other wildlife. The habitat improvements throughout the tract have helped create a healthy environment capable of holding and growing mature bucks.

This property has a proven hunting history, with quality deer already harvested over the years, while several mature bucks were intentionally passed, allowing excellent carryover potential heading into the upcoming hunting seasons. The combination of habitat management, natural browse, bedding cover, and supplemental mast-producing trees makes this a highly attractive property for wildlife year-round.

A major highlight of the property is the extensive planting of wildlife feed trees specifically selected to benefit deer populations. Approximately 50 trees have been planted across the property, with a strong emphasis on chestnut varieties known for attracting deer and producing high-value forage.

Trees Planted:

- Apple Trees
- Pear Trees
- Hybrid Chestnuts
- Late Drop Hybrid Chestnuts
- Persimmon Trees
- Late Drop Persimmons
- Hazelnuts
- Deer Plums

The majority of the plantings consist of Hybrid Chestnuts and Late Drop Chestnuts, helping provide an extended seasonal food source for wildlife.

The property also offers future timber income potential. Approximately 34± acres of loblolly pines located along the roadside portion of the tract are expected to be ready for thinning within the next few years, giving a future owner the opportunity to generate income while continuing to improve wildlife habitat and overall property value.

Additional improvements include a storage container with an attached lean-to, providing a functional setup for securely storing feed, hunting equipment, tools, or farm implements while offering covered space for tractors, ATVs, or additional utility equipment.

In addition to its recreational value, this property would make an outstanding private homesite or country retreat. The quiet rural setting, privacy, and abundance of wildlife create the ideal environment for someone looking to build a home surrounded by nature while still enjoying excellent hunting opportunities right out the back door.

With a great mix of longleaf habitat, managed wildlife improvements, future timber income potential, and proven hunting success, this property is ideal for someone looking for a turnkey recreational tract with homesite potential in Northwest Florida.
