It is approximately thirty acres and is all wooded.
About 25% of the canopy is hawthorn, a genus that awkwardly cannot decide if it is a tree or a bush. The ground looks suitable for other fruit trees so much of it would be flipped to apple trees and chestnuts with Ladino clover as a ground cover.
There are a few hickory, a few black walnut, some oak, ash, beech and maple. Most of the trees are young. Most are less than 8" diameter at breast height. But there are also a few snags.
Two drainage ditches come into the property and join in the middle. It looks like somebody attempted to either mine something or make a pond as there is a scraped up ridge, like an earthen dam downstream of where the two ditches join.
The property comes with a car!
Do you suppose this car ever went to a drive-in movie? |
Some of the stands show much creativity in the use of materials. |
Somebody decided to use this Swamp White Oak for a fence post. It will play hob with anybody who takes a chainsaw to it. |
Oh man, that last picture... That will EAT a chainsaw blade, or kick it straight back out of the tree, and you never know which one!
