Picturesque rolling 38.9 acres suitable for building off the beaten path with plenty of recreational opportunities. The entire road frontage is lined with native trees providing privacy & seclusion not to mention a natural barrier to road traffic & dust. However, S. Paulen Road turns into low maintenance near the other edge of this property due to low traffic use. There are no structures across the road. The southeast corner is made up of heavy timber with a drawl extending to the opposite corner carrying a small stream. This area could hold a decent sized pond. The area between the tree lined road & the tree lined drawl makes for an ideal homesite without needing to run utilities too far into the property. This space lends a feeling of being a bit tucked in yet offering scenic views in all directions. OR, be adventurous and head for the hilltop view setting where you can build a berm or walkout basement into the hillside. The entire property provides evidence of healthy wildlife numbers. Bucks have been allowed to grow as seen in trail cam pictures provided. Turkeys are in abundance. Electric runs along the north property line for easy access. RWD#6 verified that a water meter benefit unit is available for $3,500 plus installation. In fact, there are additional units available which allows for the property to be divided provided that it meets the county regulations of a minimum of 300' road frontage and a minimum of 3 acres. Buyer is responsible for verifying with RWD#6.
109 Acre clean pasture with good fence near Melvern ready for your livestock.
