One thing that makes this property truly unique is the tract is +-99% upland and operable for planted pines, conversion to agriculture, homesites, and/or any other suitable use that requires good upland ground. At the same time a premium water source, clear and strong running Pessell Creek, is only +-500 west of the property. Pessell Creek, which flows year-round, is well known to hold quality deer and other wildlife. So, with this tract you get the wildlife advantages of a creek bottom being immediately next door, yet practically every acre on the tract is productive upland ground with prime farmland soils and soils of statewide importance.
The property has frontage on paved Salters Mill Rd and county graded Yankee Rd, and the property divides well. +-94.41 acres is under the 10 year Conservation Use Value Assessment (CUVA), expiring in 2028. +-3.19 acres is not under Conservation Use.
