With 30.5 acres of lush grass, alfalfa, and clover hay fields already in place, and nearly 40 acres on the east side of the creek that could be cleared and cultivated, this property presents both recreational and agricultural opportunities, making it a well-rounded investment. The 980 square foot home, was built in 2009, with 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath. A 14’X20' back deck overlooks a wonderful view of the valley.
