This property is truly anyone’s retreat! The acreage is loaded with wildlife, including whitetail deer, wild turkey, ducks, and geese.  Great fishing includes a variety of fish with an abundance of small-mouth bass. An enormous eagle nest is situated within direct view of the home’s living area.  A mated pair inhabits the nest and provides year-round viewing.
