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.

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.
