Some properties give you acreage. This one gives you options. At the highest point of these 50± acres is a broad 7-to-8-acre meadow with the elevation, space, and long-range scenery buyers search for when choosing a mountain building site. Place a home or cabin here and make the view part of everyday life. Add a barn, garden, pasture, or workshop and begin creating the homestead you have pictured. For the outdoorsman, the surrounding timber creates a natural hunting environment with deer, turkey, grouse, and other wildlife regularly seen in the area. Former logging routes provide a way to explore the property by ATV or four-wheel-drive vehicle and could be improved to suit the next owner's plans. Two parcel IDs make up the sale, and the full 50± acres will be transferred together. One tract contains roughly 49 acres. The adjoining one-acre tract was formerly improved with a doublewide. The seller reports that a well and pump, septic, and electrical service remain at that location. Their present condition has not been confirmed, but they may offer a helpful beginning for a future residence, hunting base, camper location, or construction setup. This land gives you choices: build high and enjoy the view, use the lower site while preparing your permanent home, develop a self-sufficient property, manage it for hunting, or keep it largely untouched as your own piece of Scott County. Interior routes are currently covered in grass and have not been maintained for passenger vehicles. A compact 4WD is necessary for driving them. Walking is possible, although visitors should be prepared for tall vegetation. Entering and touring the land is at the visitor's own risk. Property details were provided by the seller and other sources. Buyers and their agents are responsible for confirming acreage, boundaries, utility status, access, and all other information important to their purchase.

Welcome to your private escape nestled in the heart of Scott County! This unique 50 acre property consists of two parcels; one approximately 49 acres and a separate 1 acre parcel that previously hosted a doublewide and that had septic, well with pump, and electricity already in place. The land features a mix of open hayfield (7-8 acres at the ridge top)and mature woods teeming with wildlife including deer, turkey, grouse, and even the occasional bobcat. Old logging roads and ATV trails wind through the property, offering access for recreation or hunting. Incredible views from the ridge, a perfect homesite or getaway location. Small 4WD access absolutely necessary to travel old trails, enter at your own risk. These are overgrown with grass and can be slick during rain. Property is walkable but grass can be high, trails are not very steep, but a gradual slope. Whether you're looking for a homestead, hunting land, or weekend escape, this property offers privacy, views, and utilities already in place to get started. All information gathered from seller/third party and though assumed reliable, should be verified by buyer/buyers agent.
