Tucked away in the peaceful countryside of Washington County, this stunning 12.79-acre flag lot offers the privacy and seclusion you’ve been searching for. A flag lot—named for its unique layout with a long private driveway leading to a larger, tucked-away parcel—gives you your own private access while keeping your future home hidden from the main road. As you make your way up the drive, you’ll be treated to rolling hills, scenic mountain views, and a serene natural landscape. The lot is approved for a well and a 3–4 bedroom septic system (seller verifying exact number).
