The property size is rare for this area as most rural residential blocks are 5 or 10 acres. This 1.5 acre lot is in a picturesque position and although close to town has a lovely feeling of seclusion. There is enough land to suit just about any purpose but it is not too large to manage. The property is quiet and private, with a gentle curving driveway not overlooking any other houses. There are lovely open views including an enchanting northern horizon dominated by a view of the distant Eastern Tiers under wide skies.
