Rolling topography, mature hardwoods, and a year-round creek create a stunning natural canvas.

The remaining 40 acres, accessed via School Road beside the historic community center, offer room to bring a range of visions to life: a luxury cabin retreat and event venue, an agritourism destination, a multi-generational family compound, or an equestrian estate with plenty of room for a barn and arena. Surrounded by protected lands and working farms, the valley has long drawn those seeking open space, natural beauty, and a slower pace of life, which are qualities that make it well suited to hosting weddings, retreats, farm-to-table experiences, or a private family gathering place. The land is unrestricted, giving buyers the freedom to design without compromise (buyer to verify zoning, subdivision, and land-use potential for specific uses). The back 40 acres is currently enrolled in an agricultural tax deferral program via an active cattle lease, which the buyer may continue or terminate. A cistern on site reportedly serves the community center (buyer to verify), and a recorded easement grants a separate parcel access via School Road (see deed). Additional notes: cattle may be present during showings; owner resides on the front acre, so no drive-bys—contact your agent to schedule; see attachments for community center details. Contact your agent for full details on the tax deferral program, easements, and land-use potential.
