The fishing opportunities and beautiful views that the creek provide are a great bonus.

With nearly 30 acres of trees on the property the opportunity of harvesting some for income is there along with the ability to use these areas for the secluded building spot so many are after. The two tracts are split by US Highway 24 running east and west nearly through the center the 87 acres, providing highly desirable highway frontage to the tune of over 3000 feet on the north tract and over 3200 on the south tract.
