Desirable and UNRESTRICTED property with over 8 acres of potential in a private, country setting. The south-facing area in the center of the property is perfect for your new home atop the gentle-climbing slope and will provide maximum sunlight year-round in your beautiful surroundings. Wooded and with several areas of young growth for other potential build sites, this peaceful hillside is calling you home. Easily accessible with the potential for long-range views, there is a natural buffer of evergreens on three sides of the top of slope. Soak in the calm and quite while enjoying the gifts of nature on this picturesque landscape. A power right-of-way along the roadway will not compromise your hidden escape tucked above in the remainder of the forested acreage; the cleared land beneath the lines can be utilized to your benefit in any manner (driveway, riding trails, pasture, etc...) that does not block access to the lines.
As the MLS and public records start to fill up, we'll list the details here.
