PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Just a few short miles by paved road from the main highway, this 48+ acre rolling hills tract will provide an exceptional location for your dream residence or homestead farm. Located in the desirable Duck Creek Community of well-established homes and large manicured farms, the vistas driving through are truly enjoyable. Once you reach the property, your private driveway will lead you across gently rolling grassy fields and past interesting rocky outcroppings to the large cleared center of the property, where you might imagine the home of your dreams. Here you have an unobstructed panoramic view of the forest-covered mountain ridge, lush green in Summer, vibrant orange and red in the Fall, and clear, open skies above. There is plenty of space for outbuildings, and the land above and below it is suitable for grazing cows, sheep, horses, goats, etc. and has been grazed by cattle for generations. Most of the property is cleared except for a substantial wooded portion along the eastern boundary where you might see a deer or two. The woods drop down into a draw where a spring flows in wet-weather seasons. The neighboring property owner has rights to the spring, but you won't have to worry about water. The property includes a well and two animal watering stations, one near the top, the other near the bottom of the property. The well conveys and can be used for service to a home. The well was installed years ago by the current property owner and is pumped to animal watering stations on this property and property they own on the north side of the road. For this reason, the current property owner retains rights to the use of water from this well in perpetuity unless relinquished. Other watering stations, located on the same side of the road as this property, will be disconnected and capped after closing. The property has a current lease in place with a local cattle owner grazing cattle. Otherwise, there are not restrictions. The lease terminates 31 July 2024, at which time the cattle, farm equipment and any cut hay will be removed, or, the buyer may elect to continue a lease arrangement if desired. The property has perimeter and cross-fencing which will remain as is, although most is in serviceable condition. The property was surveyed last year and a copy is attached to the documentation. Physical copies of the survey will be provided to the buyer at closing. As indicated on the survey, there are three adjacent properties also offered for sale. These properties are not readily visible from the street. They are available for purchase until pending or sold. Please arrange with your representative broker to see the property by appointment.
