Begins Closing:

Begin your legacy for generations to follow with this once in a lifetime opportunity in owning 380+ acres in the heart of Union County, that also borders thousands of acres of Shawnee Forest. The property is close to the Shawnee Wine Trail, with its many vineyards and wineries. Turning off the main road and down the dead-end county road winding through the property, you get a sense of the vast beauty of the property, with bold outcropping walls of rock and timber that surrounds large fields that awaits next year's crop.

As you reach the old homestead sits a modern barn that can be easily turned into a hunting lodge or barn-dominium that overlooks rolling hills of terraced farmland. And off in the distance you can see Bald Knob Cross. Hutchins Creek meanders its way through the majority of the property.
