Property is RAW LAND. No access to public water or public sewer. Agent will upload letters from Montgo County regarding ability to build on the lot. This lot does not have a perk or well. There was an old house that was demolished and removed, the former hand dug well was removed, and the old septic abandoned. This property backs to Waredaca Farm. Zoned Agriculture.
