Description
A brushstroke of possibility set against 59.65± acres where light, water, and elevation work together in quiet composition. This is a place for the eye that can see past what is and into what could be, with a thoughtful hand and a little bit of good old-fashioned sweat equity.
A stream keeps its own pace hidden among a stand of towering hemlock, slipping over stone in a series of small, cascading falls as the land falls away. The sound carries softly through the pines, never forced, and rumbling its way to a secluded haunt. Nearby, a tucked-away campfire ring rests above the brook—set in just enough seclusion to feel removed, yet connected to the movement below.
Access is already etched into the canvas. The remains of an established roadway wind back toward the primary timber stand, offering reach across the property with some clearing to bring it back to full form. From there, the land begins to reveal its layers with filtered light falling through the tall stands of hemlock, aspen, oak, hickory, maple, and beech, shifting throughout the days and seasons.
The topography tells a broad story. Old fields gather near the front, gradually giving way to a hardwood ridge that rises with purpose toward the back. A former homesite near the road hints at what once stood, now offering a practical starting point with a drilled well in place and electric nearby. With selective clearing, southern exposure opens the door to wide-reaching valley views that stretch well beyond the immediate horizon.
The layout carries further than its assigned acreage number supports with a grand sense of space. Movement through the property makes it feel expansive, with each turn offering a different texture that includes timber, water, elevation, and open ground, all working in contrast and harmony at the same time.
For those drawn to land not just as it stands, but as it could be shaped—this is an honest piece. One that rewards vision, effort, and a willingness to engage with it over time. Great for recreation, hunting and a home or many other opportunities.
