The property is being sold by the boundary and not by the acre. FOREST/TIMBER RESOURCES The 95 acres +/- timber resource is well positioned for current timber income as well as value appreciation over the coming decades. With an attractive species mix, adequate stocking levels, and favorable diameter class distribution, the timber amenity represents a strong component of value to the investor. Walker Farm South's forest has been well managed. A 2025 inventory shows an estimated commercial harvest value of about $81,835. This is the value that might be paid by forest products companies in a competitive sealed-bid sale. The forest resource is composed of quality Appalachian hardwoods. This timber resource can provide a great deal of flexibility to the next ownership in terms of potential harvest revenue and could be managed to provide cash flow opportunities to offset holding cost and long-term asset appreciation. The land is very productive for growing hardwoods with annual ring growth up to 1/2 inch. The timber runs consistently throughout. It is good quality hardwood sawtimber and veneer. There is a market for this timber in the area. The abundant timber resource is well positioned for future timber income as well as value appreciation over the coming decades. With an attractive species mix, adequate stocking levels, and favorable diameter class distribution, the timber amenity represents a strong component of value to the investor. The property has various ages of forestland, ranging from 40-year-old emerging forest in naturally regenerated old farm fields to 100-year-old full canopy stands of mature forest. The forest features a timber resource with impressive commercial and pole stocking with a solid basal area per acre. This stocking is average to above average for the region. Diameters are well represented across the commercial and pre-commercial spectrum with a mature size class, as well as abundant pole size timber and growing stock. Average diameter with all products combined is considered average to above average for the area. There are some trees well over 150 years old and classified as "Heritage Trees". These amazing trees have withstood the test of time and lend an air of grace and permanency to the property. The forest is healthy and there are no signs of pest infestations of Gypsy Moth. Emerald Ash Borer, and the Hemlock Wooly Adelgid are present and most of the Ash and Hemlock trees are severely stressed and will continue to decline over the next decade. There have been no forest fires in recent memory. The forest floor is home to several types of mushrooms, medicinal plants, wild ginseng, ferns and cool green mosses. There may be a few fruit trees scattered about which were part of the early homestead. Honeybees will do very well here. TIMBER INVENTORY Timber data in this report is based upon a 2025 timber inventory conducted by a professional forestry consultant. Commercial Timber Value was estimated by a professional forester to be approximately $81,835 in July 2025. Species composition: The forest's predominately well-drained upland terrain has led to a resource dominated by hardwood species. Overall, the species composition is highly desirable and favors Appalachian hardwood types, consisting primarily of: 24% White Oak - 76 MBF 17% Chestnut Oak - 54 MBF 14% Red Oak Group - 42 MBF 11% Poplar/Cucumber/Basswood - 49 MBF 22% Hickory - 70 MBF 7% Maples - 23 MBF 3% A host of associate species (Birch, Beech, Gum, Pine,) with MBF The inventory shows 2,701 trees containing 313,107 +/- board feet of hardwood sawtimber and veneer 12" dbh and larger. The inventory shows forest wide 4,492 tons of pulpwood & future growing stock. The forester took 22 systematic samples on a 600' x 600' grid using a basal area factor of 15 across the forest. The trees were measured for diameter at breast height (dbh) applying the Doyle Scale, Form Class 78 & 84.

AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES Walker Farm and Forest South has about 57 acres of fields comprised of about 25 acres of streamside bottomland fields and about 32 acres of fields that lie both streamside and rise to the ridge top. Presently, the fields are farmed to produce hay for feeding cattle during the winter months. During the period between 1850 and 1920, most of the property was cleared with hand tools and animal drawn equipment. Converting timberland into farm fields required a tremendous amount of back-breaking physical labor. Field stone scattered about the edges of the fields are a lasting tribute to the early mountaineers who homesteaded the land. The property contains approximately 57 acres of farm fields that were once the anchor and heartbeat of the self-sustaining lifestyle of the original homestead. Past farming history included cattle and sheep grazing, production of hay, oats, barley and corn. The soil and elevation are well suited for establishing a vineyard or fruit orchard. *With the advent of the modern farm tractor in the mid-1940s, many farm workers were no longer needed and migrated to the large northern cities to work in the factories. This sweeping change resulted in the less productive and steeper areas of the farms were abandoned and were no longer being maintained. These areas eventually became todays valued forests. *There are about 57 acres in hayfields that would be suitable for row crops like corn, wheat, pumpkins, etc. *The property has been in continuous agricultural use for some 150 years. *There is a considerable amount of fencing in various condition of repair about the property. *The property's rich soil, blue line and intermittent streams, 4 seasons climate, and varied topography provide the elements necessary for a self-sustaining lifestyle. *A few fruit trees are scattered about, some of which were part of the early homestead. Crops of black walnuts are produced each year from the abundant black walnut trees on the property. *Honeybees will do well here and it may be possible to produce some maple syrup from the sugar and red maple trees growing on the property. WILDLIFE Years of wildlife management practices have created the ideal wildlife preserve. Early on, management goals promoted overall wildlife health, facilitated the harvest of game, developed wildlife viewing areas, increased carrying capacity, and increased species diversity.
