Running along and under the existing driveway is a babbling creek - how relaxing. The property is zoned residential and entered into a Managed Forest Law program, so taxes are very inexpensive. There is a total of 3 separate parcels that equal the 20 acres. There is plenty of privacy, wildlife, quietness and nice views of the woods and water.
