Welcome to the Courthouse Thirty-One! With over 570 feet of road frontage as well as a 50’ access easement to the homesite, this 31.50-acre parcel is well suited for your custom home and a large slice of recreational heaven. At the homesite, a recent soil evaluation shows soils are suitable for a conventional septic system. The 2025 clear cut timber harvest coupled with the large swath of remaining timber creates the diversity, edge, and habitat that gamekeeper dreams are made of. Over 2,500 feet of trails have recently been pushed giving you access to slip out in front of that ol’ tom turkey this spring and those elusive whitetails this fall.

This division applies to the General Agricultural District, A-1. The A-1 district covers portions of the county now devoted predominately to farms and forests in which public utilities are not generally available or anticipated in the near future. This district is established to protect land and property values, groundwater and surface water quality and other natural resources. It is also the intent of this district to provide for the continued security of the county's agricultural sector by encouraging the orderly and responsible growth of its livestock, dairy and poultry industry. Limited residential development is anticipated in these areas.
