    Description

    Ask any local Scout, young or old, about Camp Lowman. Due to some reorganization, The Scouts must liquidate this asset. This 33.73 ac woodland has been a primitive camping facility for many decades. This is a quiet, isolated valley, located about one mile outside Athens City limits. There is public access along Simms Road, a steep gravel road. The valley bowl has steep sides that flatten to a nice level plain about halfway down the hill. There are lots of large older hardwoods & some pine. I'm told the morel hunting is good too. The site is undeveloped but there is the remnant of an old block latrine and water pump. Utilities (water&electric) are available to adjacent parcels along Simms Road. Consideration will be given to splitting the Timber and Land Sales.
    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.

      "very college oriented town, lots of farmers markets and breweries! safe and quiet mostly year round, students can cause an increase in music heard in the evenings but OU does not get out of control like it used to years ago. plenty of nature and wildlife around as well, you’ll be surprised at just how often you get to see deer in your own backyard!
