As you approach this secluded home nestled in it's approximate 1 1/2 acre yard
and gardens surrounded by heavy timber you will immediately feel at home.  It has
been our home for over 25 years and we love it here!  As we reach our retirement
age, we find it is time for us to let go this wonderful dream and move toward a
new dream.

   The timber abounds with wildlife such as fox, coyote, deer, turkey, quail, rabbit,
squirrel  and more!  It would be a hunter's paradise, one his wife would be happy
to share!  Hunt clubs, you can't do better than this 17 acre timber ground
surrounded by fields!  A brush house in the timber provides space for meditation.  
The photo opportunities are endless.

   Many out buildings are included that can be used for shops and storage.  A
lovely cabin provides a rustic shelter possibly for children to play in or a hunter to
shelter for the night.  An unheated green house provides the gardener with
additional growing space and time.  Flower gardens burst with perennials such as
peony, lilies, hosta, and more!  A large raised bed vegetable garden contains a
perennial herb garden, blueberry and current bushes and a large grape arbor!  

   Within an approximate 30-45 minute drive are 4 large lakes for fishing and
boating, 2 cities of over 100,000 for urban amenities like shopping, theater, zoos,
parks, colleges/universities and excellent medical service, more than 5 golf
courses and you'll still feel secluded and buffered in your own woods!
