This farmstead and its numerous improvements are a wonderful memory of country farm living in days gone by. The 1900s era farmhouse, weathered barn, cane grinder and even a two-seater privy exemplify the existence of the early working farm. The home sits in perfect position for privacy yet convenience on a county dirt road just a short distance off the pavement and away from the noise of the interstate. Grape orchard, huge pecan trees, blueberry bushes, plum bushes and a fig bush are located near the home.
