LAND: This land has varied terrain features ranging from valley pastures and meadows to densely wooded ridge-type hills that run through the land from East to West so that there are valley pastures on the South side of the ridge and valley pastures on the North side of the ridge. The elevation range variation is about 200 feet. The valley land is sandy-loam by nature and well established to both native and improved pasture and meadows for grazing livestock or producing hay crops. This type land is good for fruit, berries, garden crops of all kinds, pasture and meadows. About 60% of this land is wooded (the wooded portion primarily being the ridge running from East to West through the land) and consists of mostly hardwoods native to this area (hickory, oak, red cedar, ash, hackberry and others) plus both mature and young pine timber that can be harvested from time to time. The land is fenced around its perimeter except for a few feet along the SW corner which adjoins the old family home. The ridge running through the land is an interesting feature and is accessed via a jeep or tractor type road. From the top of the ridge there is a 50 mi panoramic view of the surrounding countryside and the mountains. This elevated site would be the perfect place to build a new country home.
