HARRISBURG, Mo., Jan. 31, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bonnette Auction Company (www.bonnetteauctions.com) Louisiana Outdoor Properties, Premier Land Division [www.LouisianaOutdoorProperties.com] announces the auction of the 629-acre Timber Hollow White Tails Ranch in Harrisburg, Mo., on Friday, March 9, 2012, at 10am CST time, according to Barbara Bonnette, auctioneer, and Chris Lemoine, Managing Partner.
"This property would make a Premier Deer Breeding Ranch with the framework for premier high fence hunts and an income potential of over 1 million plus a year."
"This is a hunter's dream property," said Bonnette. "This farm would also make a great recreational retreat, hunting ranch or home site as it has ample pristine acreage and open woods with abundant wildlife. We have two tracts in this auction which will sell to the highest bidder, regardless of price."
Located at 860 County Road 408 in Howard County, this property is just 15 miles North of I-70 and Columbia, Mo., in the gently rolling hills of the central Missouri Ozarks, close to a shopping mall, casino, commercial airport and hundreds of restaurants.
The property consists of 692 acres of prime wildlife habitat, rich in marketable timber. The tracts have excellent interior access via numerous abandoned logging roads which spiderweb across the property. It is currently setup and managed as a turn-key deer ranch facility at present, complete with lodge, breeder barn, pens, manager house and low fence acreage. The low-fence acreage boundaries are cleared and ready for high fencing.
Bonnette noted, "This is an extremely good wildlife habitat - a bow hunting and rifle hunting paradise. The amount and size of the mature bucks seen and harvested on this property are amazing."
The property was recently improved with a seven-acre lake. In addition it has several smaller ponds and multiple potential lake sites. Other improvements on the property include an 1,800 square foot, four bedroom, cedar-sided home with a basement, along with a 1,248 square foot, two-bedroom hunting lodge overlooking the new lake.
A new 60ft. x 110ft. barn has been built on the property which includes a wellhouse, office, shop and deer processing room.
"The state-of-the-art whitetail breeding pens have been completed and are home to over 100 of the best genetically proven whitetail deer in the world," emphasized Bonnette. "The deer are not included in the land auction, but they can be purchased separately. The current owners have over 20 years of experience in the whitetail hunting business and will be glad to help the new owners achieve full potential with this property."
"This is a multi-parcel auction," explained Bonnette. "The tracts will be offered in five individual tracts, in any combination of tracts, or as a whole property. The property will be sold in the manner resulting in the highest total sale price."
Inspections are scheduled for February 25 and 26, from 10am to 4pm each day. For more information, visit www.bonnetteauctions.com or call Bonnette at (318) 443-6614 or Lemoine at (318) 359-2394.
