Where to begin in describing this unique one-of-a-kind property? There is so much this splendid, unrestricted 95 Acre property has to offer. For starters it is now on the market for the first time in 100 years. The property is mostly wooded with some higher points that could provide higher elevation and views should the new owner want to build another home on the property r subdivide. It is just minutes from town and the entrance to Skyline Drive, but this property remains an oasis of beauty, privacy and solitude. Hikers, hunters and nature lovers will enjoy some established trails through the property (check out the photos). The original log farmhouse was added onto in the early 1900s. Stunning heart of pine and hardwood floors grace the interior. Major improvements were done in 2001 to include new windows in most of the house, siding, updated kitchen, updated electric, creation of a primary suite with full bath and a walk-in closet, metal roof. New septic was installed in 2003. There are phenomenal screened in porches on both sides of the house. There is also a ton of history here as it was at one time the home of Colonel Parker Hitt (a military cryptologist). There is a barn just down from the house. The property is currently in land use but could be taken out of land use and subdivided if desired (buyer to bear cost of back taxes). The property is offered in "as is" condition, but home inspections are welcome. The inground pool was at one time spring fed but needs a complete overhaul or to be drained and filled in or removed ("as is" condition). The rest of the home is on a crawl space.
