State of the surface of the cultivable area
This land opportunity consists of one 4.5 acre open pasture. This pasture is relatively flat, with a gentle slope on the eastern side resulting in this zone being wet in the winter and spring. The remainder of the field remains dry throughout the season.
The perimeter of the field has barbed wire fencing, a remnant from its history of cattle production, but no deer fencing. There is one gate that provides private access to the field off of a residential side street.
