  to the east and deeper into the mountains.
  
  
• Also Note:
  The Google, Yahoo & MapQuest maps inaccurately show Old Landing Road continuing past
  the farm connecting to Buck Creek Road, an old trail, which is now an unused, abandoned and
  closed off. A road that does not exist. The County Road, Old Landing Road, dead ends at the
  gate to the farm. The online maps use USGS topographic map data from the 1920's or 1930's
  when folks traveled by mule and sled.
  
  
  

Farm House, Barn, Outbuildings, Well, Septic:

• The house is an old Kentucky Tar Paper Shack Style House that can be fixed up and made a
  livable home again. The house site is on high river bottom, surrounded by trees.
  
  
• Electric and phone are available to the property.
• No plumbing. Outhouse needs repair.
• Heats with a wood stove. Use propane for cooking.
  
  
• The house site is very high on the river bank and is not prone to flooding. The farm house site has
  not flooded the last 20 years that I am aware of and I have been told by locals that the house site
  has not flooded in the past during extreme water events. That puts the history back as far as the
  early 1970's and possibly earlier. Please note: no guarantees being implied here.
  
  
• Water supply is a drilled well that has never been plumbed. The well head is located on the high
  ground about 100 or so feet west of the house. I was present when the water well was drilled and
  the well drillers said water tastes good and the replenishment rate was satisfactory. The well was
  drilled in the late fall or early winter in the mid 1980's.
  
  
• New 24 x 24 barn with 14 ft. sides, ground floor has 10 foot ceiling, big loft with 4 ft. walk up walls,
  lots of room.
