Property Summary
Sky Top is a well-known farm in West Tennessee, featuring premier stands of mature hardwoods and renowned for its outstanding deer and turkey populations. The owner is an avid bird hunter and has not allowed deer or turkey hunting on the property for the past 15 years, effectively allowing the farm to function as a private wildlife preserve. Former cropland has naturally reverted to young saplings and native grasses, further enhancing the habitat for wild game.
The property includes two residences, one of which has been completely remodeled. Both homes are used for weekend and extended stays. Several lakes are located throughout the farm, with the largest measuring approximately 16 acres. Constructed in 2012, this lake has been professionally managed and stocked with bass and bream. An eight-inch well was installed to maintain consistent water levels during periods of drought. Additional lakes and ponds range in size from approximately 1/25 acre to 4.5 acres.
The fields are generally level to gently rolling and are well suited for farming. Dain Creek, a designated blue-line stream, winds through the northwest portion of the property. The mature oak canopy throughout the woodlands has limited undergrowth, creating an open forest floor where walking through the woods feels much like walking through a park.
The property is currently managed by Bubba Spencer, a TWRA Game Warden. Trespassing has not been an issue at Sky Top, and Mr. Spencer has expressed interest in continuing to manage the property for a new owner.
Sky Top is a unique property and one of the finest tracts in West Tennessee. It offers everything most landowners seek when acquiring land: sufficient size to manage for big game, excellent soil types suitable for farming, marketable hardwood timber, and lakes and ponds for fishing. The property is well known for its exceptional quality and overall appeal.
