A nature lover’s paradise! This 50 acre slice of Heaven is within ¼ mile of Lake Melissa! A very private home site has been established & includes: Buried Electricity, Fiber optic internet, Well & Septic. Build your dream home or use the on-site manufactured home. Day & night you will be surrounded by abundant wildlife: deer, turkey, fox, etc. The hunting is AMAZING & the views are GORGEOUS! This location is perfect for riding ATV's, horses & OHV’s. You’ll also have a blast on the private shooting range. The north side is made up of around 12 acres of hardwoods & a small hidden pond. The rest is rolling hills of prairie grass & wildflowers. At night the star & northern light gazing is fantastic! You’ll also enjoy the nearly 1 acre fenced garden/pumpkin patch & acre yard with apple, plum & cherry trees. This is a wonderful getaway to do what you want, yet it's so close to the lake and town. Note: Recent survey separated 50 acres from the 54 acre property - County recording at closing
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
