The property shares approximately 2.7± miles of boundary with the George Washington National Forest, offering direct access to a large expanse of public land. This adjacency contributes to privacy and expands opportunities for hunting, hiking, and other outdoor recreation.
Improvements include three farmhouses, one of which dates to around 1850, along with a hunting cabin. Additional structures include two barns, workshops, storage buildings, and poultry facilities. These improvements provide functional space for agricultural operations, equipment storage, and residential or seasonal use. The existing infrastructure allows flexibility for continued farming, recreational use, or property management.
The location provides access to regional amenities while maintaining a rural setting. The property is approximately 6 miles from Warm Springs and 10 miles from Hot Springs.
