About this House

Remarkable piece of land just under 29 acres. Bring your own builder, this is a blank canvas of pristine beauty awaiting new buyers to design their dream property.

Bring your horses, livestock, crops, farm equipment whatever your heart desires. There aren't many properties like this left.
