REAL ESTATE: Selling to the highest bidder is 167 acres of opportunity with great long-term investment potential.   The farm is a great mix of open and wooded land with over 4,365 feet of road frontage.  The tillable land has been farmed organically for several years and could seamlessly continue that path but would also make a good addition to any agricultural portfolio.  The land offers slightly rolling topography allowing good surface drainage and also has had tile and subsurface drainage added over the years.  For you hunters and nature lovers, the wooded portion of this farm offers abundant possibilities for the pursuit of wildlife and the full enjoyment of life.   The natural terrain and habitat tell the story of the quality and quantity of the whitetail herd that this property holds.   The wooded acreage does offer some marketable timber and good future growth.  In addition to the land is the possibility of taking the Rickett homestead and updating it into your personal oasis.  The two-story home is in need of updating but provides a good setting  and a great canvas for your elbow grease to quickly turn into sweat equity.  A good 24’x40’ outbuilding with a 12’ overhang, as well as additional smaller outbuildings accent the property.
