An ideal partner would use the land to graze animals such as goats or sheep, but cattle is also possible.

I envision this property being used for multiple purposes including grazing animals like goats, sheep or cattle, as well as horses. Bison would also do well on the land. I can see revitalizing the chicken coop for laying hens. I can also see the possibility of putting up one or more greenhouses for specialty plants.

General Information

Quality of Land

Parts of the property were a quarry 50 years ago. Parts have grass and other woody shrubs. Some of the land has sparse trees. There is a small pond. There are three pastures with room for more. This property is on a a hill with a cliff on the west side. All but the cliff side has a perimeter fence, but repairs are needed before it would be suitable for containing livestock. The property has good access with wide roads throughout.
