Local lore has it that this was the original homeplace of the Ford family for whom the nearby Ford Knob was named. The original home was built around 1925 and then totally renovated in 1995 with an addition made in 2007. The home is now comprised of four bedrooms and four bathrooms with the master suite on the main floor and contains approximately 4,160 square feet.
LAND
The Ford Knob Homeplace sits on the edge of a 10 acre field that would be perfect for a garden, crops, horses or farm animals. The home and 183 acres lay on the western side of Ford Knob Road with the remaining 35 acres on the eastern side or the road.
The majority of the property lays on top of what is known as Chestnut Flat and offers long range views of the surrounding area. The land is fairly level to gently rolling with a seasonal stream that provides a good source of water for the wildlife.
The forest is filled with many signs of the wild turkey and whitetail deer that call Ford Knob Homeplace home along with plenty of song birds, squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons and rabbits. A nice trail system winds throughout the property and is perfect for hiking or horseback riding.
TIMBER / MINERALS
The forestland is comprised of multiple species including Black Cherry, Red and White Oak, Hard Maple, Soft Maple, Ash, Hickory and Yellow Poplar. The timber was selectively harvested in the early 1980's and has grown into a mature stand of trees.
The property lends itself to numerous multiple-use management goals including recreation, small farm operations, game management and long-term silvicultural objectives. Mineral rights do not convey with the property.
A young orchard makes up part of the front yard with apple, pear and cherry trees. Every spring hundreds of daffodils herald the coming of warmer weather and new life.
