Nice 10ac tract that had been heavily wooded prior to the fire. While this area has been significantly affected by the fire, there are currently some oak trees that are already putting out new leaves. The original house slab has been checked by an engineer & the original custom plans are available. The septic system, water line and electrical line are all believed to be OK as well. With time this property can be beautiful again and it is priced to account for the effects of the fire.
