The east side of the property features dozens of accessible ATV and walking trails along with multiple primitive campsites tucked throughout the woods and around the pond making this property perfectly suited for a private campground, family compound, hunting retreat, or outdoor recreation business. There is also an approximately 1-acre open area along County Road 12 on the west side that could make an outstanding additional home or cabin site.
