This property is now in it’s third generation of ownership by the same people who originally homesteaded on it. Having never been offered for sale. Realize these meadows and glades of trees didn’t just come this way. They were truly created by shear toil, blood, sweat and tears. All due to the love of the land.

So when looking at this one of a kind property. Take a trip back in time. To the turn of the century, when a new Husband and his fresh faced bride gave one another a knowing glance. “Fine” he said, “This will do just fine”. With nothing more than a handshake, hearts filled with dreams, and a pocket full of change the heavily wooded 20 acres was theirs.

REALTORS® subscribe to a strict code of ethics and are expected to maintain a higher level of knowledge of the process of buying and selling real estate.
