Nestled at the top of Shimmins Ridge lies one of the original homesteads, a hidden gem with stunning natural features. The property boasts a developed water system that supplies abundant water year round, also feeding a tranquil pond surrounded by a variety of trees and meadows. The main house offers a comfortable living space with four bedrooms and two baths, while a second home on the property is in need of some tender care and rehabilitation. Additionally, a spacious shop/garage provides ample storage and includes an extended bedroom/living area for added versatility. With its idyllic setting and potential for restoration, this homestead is a rare find for those seeking a slice of country paradise.

Rangeland District
This district is intended to create and preserve areas for (A) the grazing of livestock, (B) the production and harvest of natural resources, and (C) the protection of such natural resources as watershed lands from fire, pollution, erosion, and other detrimental effects. Processing of products produced on the premises would be permitted as would certain commercial activities associated with crop and animal raising. Typically the R-L District would be applied to lands for incorporation into Type H Agricultural Preserves, other lands generally in range use, and intermixed smaller parcels and other contiguous lands, the inclusion of which is necessary for the protection and efficient management of rangelands.
