COMMENTS: Here is a place perfect for the larger family in a quiet and somewhat remote rural setting. The farm is in a narrow valley with a wooded hill running through the South side of the property and a wooded hill running through the North side of the valley providing a protected and sheltered setting for the home. The home is nestled at the base of the Southerly ridge at the end of a 1/4th mile private driveway providing a very private setting plus a nice view of the valley pastures and hills beyond. If you like hunting and fishing, both can be enjoyed on this farm. The ponds are good fishing for crappie, bass, catfish, perch and other pan fish found in the area. Sightings frequently of deer, turkey, quail, squirrel, rabbit and other game. Just mile from the farm is an 11,000 acre public use area (Wister Lake Public Lands) for hunting, camping, hiking and riding your horse exploring hundreds of miles of seldom used logging roads and deer trails. This is a very rural setting with mostly wooded hills and mountains with small cattle and hay farms found in the valleys such as this place. Several young fruit trees on the farm. Gardens that will produce all kinds of vegetables for home consumption and canning. A very large home that is mostly complete, but may need a few items here and there. A back porch is planned, but this will have to be done by the new owner. Very good out buildings are located on this farm with the new shop building being an example. This place is priced so you can complete some of the do-it-yourself type things that you may want to do, but its move-in ready right now.
