The property spans across Hilltop Road which is a dead-end road with a peak elevation of 1,430 feet known as Jersey Hill. The farm fields on the north side of the road are almost level with a south facing gentle slope. The fields on the south side offer a gentle slope towards the woods facing south for an excellent solar exposure. The fields have had no pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers applied for over a decade offering potential for organic certification. Great opportunity for someone who wants to start a veggie CSA, farmer's market, or use the property to raise livestock. The elevation of the property peaks at the road and gently slopes down the hill towards a wooded area where there are tall majestic oaks, maples and large white pines. Among the trees are two older log cabins in a state of disrepair. The property descends to a gorge with a stream that meanders along the southern border.
