The as-is home has 1,408 sq. ft. of living space with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Bass, bluegill, and catfish reside in the 2 acre +/- pond, which has a nice mowed lane across the dam for easy access to cast a line. Surrounding the pond are native grasses and sapling hardwoods from the 4 Conservation Reserve Program acres, which compensates the property owner in exchange for promoting soil and water conservation with wildlife habitat.
There are also 2.5 acres +/- of fertile tillable land, which gives you space for farming, gardening, or even planting a food plot. No doubt this property could be tricked-out for the whitetails that walk across the road from the no-hunting State Park.
