*Owners are motivated!* Come experience the history of this 19 acre tract with topography that ranges from flat, to long range mountain views throughout the wooded area of the property. An old mica mine is located at the top and owner tells me that this was used by area residents long ago to dig and send off to be used for military electronics during WWII. A large cornfield was located on the property back in the 1950s and was harvested and brought to a corn mill at the bottom to be processed. The foundation of this mill still stands today. Numerous potential build sites dot the property and owner was informed by an excavation expert that the property could easily be divided into multiple lots with privacy on each one. A roughed in road is carved into the property and would be a great start to building a network of ATV trails or roads. Minimal restrictions are only on a portion of the property which makes this a good opportunity to develop, or to keep all to yourself and have an abundance of privacy. Hunting camp anyone?
