    Description

    Builder/Investor opportunity! Rare opportunity to own a fantastic private 6+ acre lot backing up to White Clay Park! This location is amazing! Build your dream home or subdivide up to 4 lots, no builder tie in. This property was untouched for over 100 years. It's adjacent to the house you will see next to this property where young children attended school in the school house. The owners of the school house manicured the property 3 years ago by cleaning it up and planting an orchard on the open field with about 100 new trees including a variety of fruit trees right next door. There is a also a beautiful iron automatic gate with a remote that was installed with stone pillars and walls to match the rustic natural beauty of the property. You will see about 32 newly planted Cherry trees that line up smith mill road to give it a beautiful look in season. There is a stream on the back part of the property that runs through to White Clay Creek Park across the rear of the property making this a unique property allowing you to have privacy since there will never be any homes built across this unique property on the white clay creek park. The previous owners spent a substantial amount to create an open clean look for a future buyer. If you want privacy and peace this is the property you have been looking for.
