This 45-acre parcel is private and unrestricted and is bounded by Bad Creek. Wooded forest comprises most of the 45 acres. Lying to the right and close to the creek is a once cleared portion that was used for a tobacco crop not too many years ago. It is now covered in thick weeds but could be brought back to its original cleared condition. A well-maintained gravel road with a gentle grade extends through the property from the entrance of Bad Creek Road to the northern boundary making good access for future use. A clear mountain stream feeds into Bad Creek through the property. A tobacco barn sits at the entrance of the property and is in good condition. *NO DRIVE-BYS & DO NOT GO TO THE PROPERTY WITHOUT AN AGENT*
