Tract Description: The subject property is within seven easy miles of Little Rock, yet is found in a rural subdivision known as Naturelands. The Nature Lands tract has been managed as a pine plantation for many years. This mature stand is in excellent condition. Timber consists of pine sawtimber with advanced natural pine regeneration. There is a strip of merchantable hardwood on the east edge of the property, as well. Terrain is gently rolling. The pine site index for loblolly pine averages 81 feet (base age 50) on a fine sandy loam Savannah soil. White-tailed deer inhabit the property and there are no restrictions against hunting. There is electricity available. Located in the Sheridan School District, the potential for subdividing this tract is very good.

The tract consists of these three timber types: 1) 1984 Pine Plantation 66.39 acres. 2) Merchantable Natural Hardwood 15.00 acres. 3) Merchantable Bald Cypress/Water Tupelo Bottom 4.00 acres.
