With approximately 1,450 feet of paved, county-maintained road frontage, this tract offers excellent access and multiple building sites, whether you're dreaming of a cabin in the woods, a tiny home, a camper setup, or a private country homestead. The land features two ponds and a natural spring—ideal for enjoying the outdoors, attracting wildlife, or creating a peaceful setting for weekend escapes. Electricity is already on the property, and fibernet availability makes it possible to stay connected while still living ''out where it's quiet.'' You'll also find a small shed and an old-timey outhouse that adds a touch of Appalachian character. This is the kind of place where you can hunt, hike, explore, and build at your own pace.
