These 52+/- acres are home to a myriad of native plant and animal species which is the reason for the protective Conservation Easement (see copy on Associated Documents). Special features of this property include a large bunkhouse for overflow guests, a tiny A-frame, one-third interest in a nearby pond property, a propane generator for power back-up and an additional potential homesite excluded from the Conservation Easement which protects the majority of the virgin forest from future development. Taxes based on two Tax IDs.
