This beautiful property, very secluded on a seasonal use road, offers nice whitetail and wildlife opportunities along with a rustic off-grid hunting cabin or vacation getaway, and plenty of room for boondocking and parking. Located on a seasonal use road, this heavily wooded property is mostly level with a slight grade upwards from the road. There are logging trails providing access throughout the woodlot.
