This tract is improved by a storage shed which has its own electric meter as well as fencing around the 7.5 acre field in the front. The field could be cultivated for other crops but has recently been used for hay/grazing. Two mountain streams flow through this property. Both of them flow most of the year but can dry up during the driest parts of the summer. This tract has a network of interior roads and trails throughout. It has some potential cabin or home building sites with some great views across the valley. The topography and mix of hardwoods and pines is ideal for wildlife. The George Washington National Forest borders the rear of the property with access to hiking, hunting, mountain biking and other recreational uses. Timber was last cut on this property about 30 years ago so there is some potential for timber harvest if desired. There is a utility line easement across the southern side of the property where a buried electric line by Shenandoah Valley Electric runs up the mountain.
