There is 540 +/- feet of road frontage on old market road, 22.5 acres +/- of tillable farm land that has been in crop production, and 33.85 +/- acres of mature timberland, which has had a small section thinned.

The agricultural land can continue to produce income through farm rent or a large portion of the property could possibly be enrolled into a CREP program, that would generate significant income.
