AG. EXEMPT! Property is 30 acres as it stands. Seller will divide into smaller parcels, per an offer. Nestled beyond the hum of the city, acres of untamed beauty stretched under an endless sky, waiting to become whatever the heart desires. The land has an abundance of places for hiking, horse riding, hunting, ATV riding, fishing and quiet corners for reflection, acreage for livestock and space that invites adventure. For some, it would be a retreat. A haven where men could gather, sharing stories. A sanctuary for women seeking stillness, a place where the world's noise fades into the rustling trees and gentle sway of wild grasses. For others, it would be an opportunity-to teach, to grow, to create. A learning ground where children chase fireflies and master the art of building a fire. A homestead for a family eager to raise animals and cultivate the land's gifts. And for the dreamers, it would be a home. Whether one grand house standing proud, at the top of the hill, against the skyline or tiny homes tucked into the landscape like hidden gems, each space would hold laughter and warmth, built with purpose and hope. Here, there was no single dream. Only the freedom to build, to explore, and to belong.
