About this home

This beautiful piece of property surrounded by mountains has 242 ft of creek frontage, a one acre pond, lots of pasture and wooded areas. Also 12 camper hookups with electricity, water and septic are still in place but would need to be checked to see if they are still functioning. In its day, this property was a thriving campground where folks spent their summers with family and friends, away from TV, cell phones and computers, playing in the creek, fishing from the pond and hanging out under the shade trees. One of the two buildings, in need of repair, at the entrance was the restaurant where guest enjoyed a home cooked meal. This is an amazing property suitable for residential, farming, cows, horses or camping.
