Your Own Family Homestead

Here you have 12-1/4 acres clear field, and it is very productive land. I grow hay, and pull 30 to 40 tons annually. At the northwest corner of the field, 2-1/4 acres is wooded, providing privacy from the next field over. To the east of the field is a nice little pond, about 1/5 of an acre, nestled in the edge of the 6-3/4 acre pine forest. The deeded easement is a gravel road, well maintained by the adjacent family business. There is also a small road through the woods against the northeast property line that provides an additional means to exit the property. (I exclusively use the nice gravel deeded easement road with my large, heavy hay equipment.) Understand, I'm not a realtor; I am the land owner and farmer and user of the land. I know it well. I have no need to sell it, and am set on my price; my price is set based on some comparable sales. This would make an excellent homestead (read: private family compound). If you want to build a house to be seen from the road, this tract is not for you! This is for a family that is looking to be as invisible/private as you'd like from the outside world. Your absentee neighbors to the north and south is a landowner that rents for agriculture. The woods on your west are lower, and owned by the large local farmer who buys everything he can, apparently to just hold. There are two neighbor families on the northeast, one a small farmer and the other a small business owner. They are fine, hardworking folks, but one family owns dogs. If you don't like that, 200 feet of fence and a nice automated gate solves the problem. In the surrounding mile (BoSmith Rd, Davis St, Joye Rd), you've got a very sparse population - I'd estimate less than 30 homes. No, owner financing on this purchase is not available. However, ArborOne is an outstanding rural lender, and this tract meets all qualifications. I believe that at least 10 acres of the cleared field perks, and I can provide a copy of the USDA soil survey map for you. Obviously, you would also conduct all of your own testing during the examination period of a sales contract. I'm happy to show it and walk it with you, but let's only do that if you have the income and credit score to buy it outright, or finance it with your bank or ArborOne. Thanks for your consideration, and feel free to call or email me with questions.
