    Overview

    This offering is an 80-acre farmland property zoned SR. The farm includes 45 acres described as tillable, with an additional 35 acres protected as forest area for hiking and hunting. The property also adjoins Blackbird Creek, with secluded shoreline described along the back acres. Private-farm uses listed include crops, equine, dairy, cattle, or a private estate.

    The site is located in the MOT area and fronts a road with eligibility for a minor subdivision into four 5+ acre lots, based on the stated road frontage eligibility. Development rights are described as sellable while retaining the farm for continued use. Access is controlled; the listing agent must accompany all showings, and entry without scheduling is discouraged. Hunters may be present.

    For buyers seeking a private agricultural setting, equine or livestock use, or a larger landholding with natural forest acreage and creek adjacency, this property provides both tillable ground and protected woodland. For those considering limited subdivision, the stated minor subdivision eligibility and road frontage basis may support planning discussions. Any development-rights strategy should be reviewed in light of the property’s SR zoning and the stated eligibility for selling development rights while maintaining farm use.
