From the moment you turn onto the private mile-long driveway, lined with 50 feet of clearance on either side for future widening, you'll know this property is something truly special. The cleared area surrounding the home provides a beautiful and serene front and back yard, while the surrounding wooded acreage is home to an incredible variety of fruit and nut trees including apple, cherry, pecan, pear, chestnut, and more — a nature lover's paradise in every sense of the word!
