170 PARKER Rd

Notes from the listing agent

MANY DESIRABLE FEATURES ARE HERE: Very nice hay fields that run the full width of the property; easy to walk wooded hills & trails that lead to its steep pinnacle on the mountain top; an amazingly large spring pond near a very large deer patch for corn and a great hunting adventure; the perfect antique cabin; multiple out buildings, AND delicious patches of blueberry bushes that produce June through August! This a most attractive property. I walked it all to find its attributes and you can too. Each element of the property is full to its purpose and ample in its size. A lifetime of working to make it complete is evident. It has been generally well maintained. THE CABIN was first established as a small building during the 1890s. The original house was built in the mid 1950's. Its construction was of solid, old logs with a tin roof, as was customary in those days. That roof still holds! Mostly in 1989 thru the 1990's, the current owners worked to restore the home, and added to its current size and condition. Wisely, they retained its old-world character while creating ample usable spaces. The yard is charming. Much of the flavor of the artistic, simple way it was done still remains. A large chicken coup, a goat barn, and a shed line the edges of the yard. They are old but likely usable, and they add to the character of the property. Conveniently they are close by the cabin making it easy to care for your birds and animals. Further additions were added in the 1970's. Its floor plan is unique. The black wood stove will be removed. THE LAND: The land and fields are expansive. You might note that the large field that is along Parker Rd to the left, as you turn in off from Pumpkin Valley Rd is part of the property. This area and all of the rest of the land in the back is suitable to many uses: for growing hay and gardens; for horses, cattle or other livestock; for hunting & shooting ranges; for building additional housing units with good separation between them (either on the gentle hills, at the edges of the woods, or higher up, maybe even at the top of the mountain). There is not restriction against running a business. Electric lines are already run to an existing shop at the first landing along the driveway by the building, and to an old trailer below it near the fields. THE WOODS are deep. They rise up gently for a very long distance along ridge lines with hollers in between. The last 200 ft are steep, but still attainable by foot to the very top of the mountain. It is worth getting to, as the whole top is quite level and considerably wide. THE POND is out towards the east end of the fields. It is a big, beautiful, clear, spring-fed pond that's hidden at the bottom, tucked between the woods and the fields. It is near the hunting shack and corn patch, but the shack does not stay. The property continues on, beyond this area. A Local lender familiar with rural lending for farms and land is highly suggested. The larger value is in the land so typical ''house'' loans, usually provided, or FHA, VA, and internet lenders are not ideal.
