Located just off Greene Road and accessed by a recorded 20-foot easement, this expansive tract offers privacy, excellent wildlife habitat, and significant potential for future land management and investment.

Approximately 187± acres of the property were recently clearcut harvested and are currently awaiting reforestation.

Big Mountain Creek forms the southern boundary of the property, adding a scenic natural feature that enhances both wildlife habitat and recreational enjoyment. The creek serves as a year-round water source for game species and creates a beautiful natural setting for hunting, exploring, or simply enjoying the outdoors.
