The property is mostly wooded, with a few small open areas that are ideal for food plots. It is an ideal property for timber investment, hunting, recreational and possible home or camp site. The terrain offers a nice variety with a round top near the center of the property, gradual slopes to the east and west. There is an unnamed seasonal tributary on the east side of the property that parallels North Fork Dam Road. There is a little steeper slope along the road which creates a natural deterrent to the public, and helps maintain the privacy on the property.

There is approximately 1400 feet of road frontage along North Fork Dam Road, and approximately 100 feet of road frontage along Hemlock Road. Currently there is no established access road into the property from either of these roads. There is an Option for a Right of Way from Hemlock Road on an established entrance.

North Fork Forest offers a diversified use for the investor and the adventurous. The land is growing timber, but also offers a potential opportunity to be developed into a family get away, home site, camp, or honey spot for hunting. There is electric available at the road. There are former logging trails that can be restored and used for hiking and ATV use.

The Seller believes he owns the oil and gas rights. He had formerly signed a gas lease, which now has expired. The Seller is reserving the oil and gas rights and royalties for their natural life. At the death of the Sellers, the oil and gas rights, and any royalties being paid will revert to the present surface owner.
