Attention Hunters! 10 Acres here, but surrounded by over 54,000 acres of Federal land! And by surrounded, I mean on all FOUR sides! The property has been in the family for decades and is absolutely pure, raw land. The only inhabitants are the wild ones. The property currently has no direct access. It is located just south of the point where Federal Roads 6545 and 6544 meet. There is just enough room to park a vehicle at this point and walk south into the property. The Feds would most likely allow you to create a private road for access off the Federal road, but it is a process that takes about a year and costs about $1,000. So... Here's the plan -- Buy the property today. As soon as the ink dries, fill out the application for the permit to create a private road. Meanwhile, have your buddies drop you off to hunt. By next year's season, you'll be all set to put in the road! It's a beautiful, undisturbed piece of property. Call for your private tour today! If you choose to walk the property on your own, WEAR ORANGE, go mid-day, and call the listing agent to book the time. It is hunting season. We want to be safe! Property has been marked with green ribbons and realty signs. Note, it has not been surveyed, but there are Federal survey markers around the entire piece.
