This diamond-in-the-not-so-rough was formerly a pear orchard with two (2) very large 360' X 40' poultry barns. A 1,250-square-foot, 1900s house serves as a perfect farm caretaker's dwelling. There is excellent potential for someone to resurrect approximately 15 acres of pear trees, which were producing fruit just a few years ago. Approximately 5 acres of mature woods at the rear of the property with an adjacent farm was recently clear-cut for timber. There are two outbuildings for equipment storage and harvesting facilities, primarily for pear tree farming. The region is known for farming with excellent paved state highway frontage. The location is surrounded by operating farms and also some newer country homes. Contact Land Specialist Mike Arajakis today to schedule a showing.
