Create your own little slice of heaven on Forge Road! Great property on 5 private acres with multiple outbuildings. Land backs up to the buffer zone of the 900-acre Little Creek Reservoir allowing you to walk to the waters edge. Mature woods on and adjacent to the property provide constant bird watching opportunities. The 5 bedroom home has tons room to spread out and includes a first floor primary suite, office, bonus room, 16x10 screened porch and deck and heat pump replaced in 2022 & wood stove in 2019. Also onsite are 3 outbuildings: a large shed with power and loads of second floor storage, spacious studio that most recently was used as a pottery studio (but had been used years ago for dog boarding) that has HVAC that was recently replaced, and a barn with 3 stalls and huge second floor for storing whatever you need. There is a blueberry garden behind the studio and in recent years it has produced 25-30 quarts when you can beat the birds to them! This property has been loved by the current owners for the past 20 years and is now ready for a new family to enjoy! Priced to sell, pre-inspected and conveys as is.

PL
Public Land District
The purpose of the public land district is to establish a special classification for certain parcels of publicly owned property which are used for a public purpose. It is intended to identify significant publicly owned parcels in order to facilitate full utilization of the property for the public benefit and to permit the greatest certainty regarding the character of potential uses of those parcels based on the Comprehensive Plan and surrounding land uses. In order to operate in harmony with this plan, the Public Land District should include publicly owned land of a size and use which could have notable impacts to adjacent properties. The District is generally not intended to include publicly owned parcels with limited public impacts including, but not limited to, pump stations, well lots, land intended for economic development and other lands not meant for a public purpose, and certain residential and commercial accessory uses.
