Looking for that first homesite or land purchase? Just a couple minutes off History Land Highway and in the midst of hundreds of acres of wheat fields, the rural lifestyle can be yours. Historic Essex County offers lots of recreational opportunities, including nearby hunting, fishing, boating, vineyards and early American tours. The large adjacent parcel that was formerly wooded has been cleared and development may be close behind, but this lot is roughly square in shape with mature trees, and a cleared center strip that leads down a gentle slope to a runoff stream at the back of the property. Front corners are marked with white poles and blue ribbons. Blue ribbons on trees can also be seen through the woods, tied to trees. According to neighbors, there is a well on the property that supplied a (no longer standing) "Jim Walters" home at one time, and an electric meter on pole is at the front right of the lot, that supplied the neighboring single wide mobile home. This lot should accommodate a walk out basement with the slope. Bring your vision and ideas to Rocky Rd before builders discover how affordable land is here!
