A thoughtfully planned 4.44-acre green space enhances the layout, preserving open views, natural character, and long-term value. (Survey and plat reflecting the 8-lot configuration and green space have been completed but are not yet recorded.) Featuring level to gently rolling topography, the property offers a desirable mix of open pasture and wooded areas, making it ideal for custom homes, a boutique residential development, or an investment hold. Easy access from a paved road adds to the property's development potential.
