This 197-acre parcel features a mature hardwood forest, including a variety of species such as white oak, red oak, hickory, and beech, among others.

The easement allows for two building envelopes of up to two acres each: 1-Residential and 1-Pole Barn/Shed.
Being that the property is in a conservation easement, many activities are allowed and encouraged to promote healthy forests and wildlife habitats.
