Condition & Current Use

This is a great multi use property with level flat driveway access on one side and natural barrier (shale and wooded hillside) on the other side of the property. There is a shared well for minimal usage and likelihood of a spring in the middle of the property, and a small creek at the base of the hill.  There is one structure of uncertain condition. No fencing exists at present and it neighbors a horse farm. 

Soil Types

Lordstown or Lordstown and Oquaga Channery Silt Loam make up approximately one half of the property with Green Silt Loam (prime farmland) and Mardin Channery Silt Loam making up the rest. See attached soils report and map for more information.

Farm History & Past Use

This was a farmhouse with grazing land. The farmhouse has been demolished. The land was not used for grazing purposes but was a family home for at least 50 plus years.

For Lease Business Partnership

I believe that farming is important to our society but that not all people who want to farm have land to do so. I would like the land to contribute to someone's dream, while be useful to a community. Long term lease preferred. Open to partnership -  I have experience managing projects of various sizes and have logistical experience that could be utilized in a farming business partnership.

Production Preferences

Livestock / Crops Description

In my limited knowledge, I would like things to either be grown here, or small animals (sheep, goats, chickens) to be raised for a small scale farming business-direct to consumer preferably. Open at this time but prefer low density of livestock so as not to deplete the land.
