The property is exceptionally well-equipped with a deep well producing abundant, clean, soft water, and a pump with the capacity to support multiple homes, adding tremendous long-term value and development potential. Several additional homesites throughout the acreage make this property well-suited for creating a private family compound, guest homes, or future expansion.

Approximately 18.3 acres of the property border scenic Beaverdam Creek, creating a beautiful natural setting with abundant wildlife and recreational opportunities.
