"Everybody knows how much the cost of everything has gone up in the last few years," he said. "So, the idea of trying to rebuild this type of property today — it's just going to cost a fortune."
He added, "And the biggest thing over and above the cost is the amount of time it would take to redo it because you can imagine the bottleneck and pipelines that would just be absolutely backed up trying to get this kind of material in today."

Flowers said the property’s seller first assembled the house "piece by piece" 20 years ago, which has turned into an all-American destination.

The agent also added that the property has "enough conservation value" with a "very strong chance that it could pay for itself through tax shelter, either in its entirety or at least in a strong majority."
The property has been involved in a breeding system for the last decade to enhance the genetics of its deer population, with five breeder pens on site of varying sizes.
The listing indicates that $400,000 worth of deer were released onto the property just last year.
"The wildlife habitat is extremely well managed, with a rotating control burn schedule and a year-round feeding program, supported by a 7-ton and a 20-ton silo," the listing states.
