Additional improvements include a large workshop/garage with an apartment, a picturesque pond, and a massive greenhouse, each ready to be restored. Over a mile of paved roads dissect the acreage with gated access on both the eastern and western boundaries. Underground utilities throughout the property provide a rare foundation for future expansion. Beyond the improvements, multiple rolling pastures give way to hundreds of acres of mature hardwood forest, where an extensive network of trails winds through peaceful valleys and along scenic ridgelines.
