Steyer Mine Rd Oakland MD 21550 MLS #2959763514

Rippeon & Co. is pleased to present Trout Run Hardwoods, a beautiful 157 +/- acres of hardwoods located in Garrett County within minutes of Deep Creek Lake and Oakland, MD. This is a great opportunity to purchase a heavily game populated hunting, recreation, and timber property with a beautiful mountain stream. The property has a half mile deeded ROW off of Steyer Mine Road that has been improved with approximately 100 tons of stone and had a boundary survey plus flagging that was completed in 2021. Once you reach the property you will be welcomed by a very extensive road system throughout the property taking you to every corner. Wildlife sign on the property was very evident, with deer tracks on almost every inch, and deer rubs can be seen quite frequently throughout. Property is also home to a robust population of turkeys, and bear have been taken on the property. The stream bottoms are filled with eastern Hemlocks and mountain laurel, providing plenty of sanctuary for wildlife. Several sections of the property had stands of mountain laurel on the hillside providing the perfect bedding for deer. A nice deer blind can be found on the property, along with a tower stand, that does need some TLC. Property owner has completed a select cut of timber providing a unique opportunity for future use, including food plot areas, additional roads, and timber management. There are two areas that have been cleared for food plotting. This property is perfect for the hunter/land manager looking for a completely secluded getaway that will provide future timber investment value. The property owner is a logger who has a lifetime of knowledge in timber business, is a passionate hunter, and wildlife manager. It is of their opinion the property needed a selective cut to enhance the habitat, open the canopy to encourage new forest floor growth, and to generally promote growth of the remaining hardwoods. The ROW is the only access to the property providing security and seclusion at its finest. This property is ready to be taken to the next level with proper timber and wildlife management and will be sure to reward once a management plan is implemented. The seller is open to conversations regarding the selective cut and is eager to work with a buyer to shape the property for future use. NO ZONING RESTRICTIONS, property is outside of the county’s zoning ordinances, but we always recommend doing your due diligence. Please contract me today to schedule your own private tour.
