This is a 190-acre private hunting lease in Northumberland County, Virginia, at the tip of the Northern Neck. It runs $6,500 for the season, holds one party of up to four hunters, and covers whitetail deer, turkey, ducks and geese. Access opens December 1, 2026, which makes it a late-season lease: you come in after the early archery and muzzleloader weeks and the opening stretch of general firearms. There is no lodging. The ground is open fields and light brush running along a creek.
That is the whole deal in one paragraph. The rest of this post covers what the ground looks like, what lives on it, how we would go about hunting it in December, and what the county around it is like.

The ground
The farm sits in the flat Coastal Plain country between the Potomac and the Rappahannock, with the Chesapeake Bay to the east. That landscape is mostly cropland broken by woodlots, hedgerows and tidal creeks, and this tract is a good example of it: open fields with light brush following a creek line.
What that means for a hunter is edges. Open fields give you visibility and long looks. The brush along the creek gives deer and turkey somewhere to move without being exposed, and it gives you somewhere to hide. Where those two meet is where most of the action on a property like this tends to happen.
The creek matters for another reason. Creeks in this part of the Northern Neck are often tidal or brackish as they near the bay, and water on a farm draws birds as well as deer. That is why ducks and geese are on the species list alongside whitetail and turkey.
What this ground is not: big timber, mountain country, or a deep-woods property where you can walk all day without seeing an opening. It is a working farm landscape. If you like hunting field edges, travel corridors and water, it fits. If you want a hardwood ridge, look through our other listings instead.
Exact location, boundaries, parking, access details and the landowner's property rules are released in your member account once the lease is booked. We do not publish them on the open web.
The game
Whitetail deer. Farm country with cover along water is classic whitetail habitat: food in the fields, bedding and travel in the brush. We are not going to quote you a deer density or a harvest history we don't have. What we can tell you is what the habitat looks like, and it looks like deer ground.
Turkey. Open fields with brushy edges are the kind of mixed cover turkeys use for feeding and travel. Which turkey days fall inside your access period is set by the state's season calendar for Virginia, not by the lease.
Ducks and geese. A creek near the Chesapeake in December is the reason waterfowl are on this lease at all. Geese use farm fields, and ducks use the water. Waterfowl seasons, bag limits and stamps run on their own federal and state schedule, separate from deer.

How we'd hunt it
We have not hunted this farm, and we won't pretend to know where the best stand is. What follows is general late-season thinking for open fields and creek-side brush. The landowner's rules, released to you after booking, decide what is allowed where.
Play the wind first. Flat open ground carries scent a long way and gives deer nowhere to hide from it. On a property like this, the wind decides which edge you sit on each day. Pick two or three setups for different winds before your first sit, not after you get there.
Hunt the field edges at last light. By December deer have been pressured for weeks and tend to move later, closer to dark. The edge where brush meets an open field is the obvious place to watch, and it is obvious for a reason. Set up inside the cover, not out on the open edge.
Watch the creek as a travel lane. Brush running along water is a natural corridor. Deer moving between bedding and feeding often use it to stay covered. A setup on the creek line, between where you think they bed and where they feed, is worth a morning sit.
Follow the late-season food. In December, deer go where the food is. On farm ground that usually means whatever is left in or around the fields after harvest. Spend your first visit finding out what is actually there and where the tracks go, rather than guessing from a map.
Keep pressure low. One party holds this lease, so you are not competing with other groups for the same ground. That is worth protecting. Fewer, better-planned sits on the right wind will usually beat hunting every edge every day.
Make waterfowl its own plan. If your group wants ducks and geese, treat it as a separate hunt: different gear, different hours, and a different spot on the creek or in the fields. With four hunters you can split the group between deer and birds.
The county
Northumberland County is rural. About 11,800 people live there, and farmland covers around 43,480 acres across 134 farms, most of it cropland, with tidal creeks cutting through it toward the bay.
Heathsville is the county seat. Kilmarnock has fuller retail and a 24-hour emergency room, which is worth knowing when you are hunting with a group. Richmond is about an hour and a half by road, so this is within long-weekend range for hunters in central Virginia.
There is no lodging with this lease. Most groups stay in the area or drive in.
Why lease it this way
Plenty of ground in this part of the country changes hands through a classified ad, a social-media post or a club. Those deals tend to share the same problems: you pay a stranger by app transfer, there is no written agreement, the property rules live in someone's head, and you may find another group on the same farm opening morning. Club and timber-company leases run on a rulebook you don't negotiate, on land that is managed for something other than your hunt.
This lease works differently:
- We spoke with the landowner by phone before the property was listed.
- One party holds the lease for the season. Nobody else is booked on it.
- You pay by card through our checkout, not by Venmo, Zelle or CashApp to someone you met online.
- Every hunter signs an access agreement and liability waiver carrying the landowner's own rules before access.
- Leases arranged through us are insured.
- Real people answer the phone when you have a question.
Book it
At $6,500 for a party of up to four, the cost works out to about $1,625 a hunter for the season, before membership. There is one lease on this farm, and once it is booked it is gone for the season.
