Sweet spot for hunting or vacation getaway: This large(142 acre) property sits atop a ridge, making an ideal habitat and runs for whitetail and wild turkey.

Several private open areas would make great areas for plots of leave for bedding areas. Mostly wooded, there is a nice logging trail system that takes you throughout the property, where there is a mix of hardwoods, including oak, maple, cherry, ash and beech, as well as softwoods.
