Good earth! This impressive 90 acres bordering a massive tree farm is spread out on two adjacent parcels in two different counties and is definitely one of a kind. Colorful remnants remain at the former ~Poo Frog Ranch~ a fenced, gated compound nestled in the pines near year round recreation with underground springs, long range views and timber potential. There's a sturdy two story home, numerous cabins scattered in the woods on traversable trails, a detached garage with bonus rooms, defined areas for animals and agriculture and an ample shop. Outdoor events and group activities were enjoyed here and evidence of ~high culture~ is apparent, all in harmony with the cool, crisp mountain air. The rustic main residence needs major rehab but is spacious and has possibilities, and all utilities are in place. Expand your horizons, unburden your mind, enlighten your outlook and envision future development on a prime property of epic proportions!
