Create your own private retreat on this incredible 240-acre property, offering space, flexibility, and endless possibilities. The parcel qualifies for up to six domestic wells, with each well capable of serving up to three residences and supporting up to one acre of lawn or garden, making this an excellent opportunity for a family compound, investment, or future development.
If desired, the property may be subdivided into four separate parcels, allowing you to sell portions while retaining acreage for yourself.
