Property Description

This is your opportunity to own a piece of property that has been considered the most prestigious piece of land this side of High Knob.

This was the former home to the ''burning well'', as locals called it, which was a natural gas burning well that held many uses. It is not known whether the well is still operational. The many different perks to this property include; Clear Creek running throughout, plenty of level sites that could be used to build your dream home, a hunter's paradise with plentiful wildlife, ginseng and an abundance of plant life, peace and quiet with no neighbors in sight, and a future investment opportunity with potential income-producing possibilities; such as mature timber, camp sites, hunter's lodge, new site development for future housing, horse-riding area, or dirt bike trails. The property is 2.2 miles past the beginning of the dirt road. Although four-wheel drive can access this property, the road is not maintained by the city and will need to be worked on. There are no known restrictions, easements, or right of ways on the property. Come take a look at this beautiful property at a great price and call it yours!
