Overview

Description

Freedom doesn't get much better than this. Tucked into 26 wooded acres in Bitely, this property is a true outdoor lover's paradise -- deer and turkey hunting, mushroom hunting, ATV trails, and a shallow pond bursting with wildlife and native plantings. Two permanent hunting shacks and established hunting spots are ready to go. Birdwatchers will love it too -- nesting sandhill cranes, pileated woodpeckers, orioles, hummingbirds, and bald eagles call this place home. A 20x26 and a massive 40x44 electrified pole barn, maple syrup boiler, and irrigation system round out this one of a kind property. Wood stove, screened porch with under-deck screening -- no bugs, no compromises. 200 amp service, well and septic. This one checks every box.
