One of the most attractive homesite locations sits near a large mature oak tree with nearby electric availability and Multi-County water close by, helping simplify future development and reduce infrastructure costs.

This tract offers versatility for a variety of uses including a private homestead, recreational retreat, hunting property, weekend getaway, or agricultural operation.
