Multiple homesites provide both countryside and long-range views. Numerous springs and several ephemeral streams can be found throughout the property.

FIELD & FOREST

Rich Hollow has fencing and several springs were developed at one time for cattle water sources. The pasture areas are mostly fenced. A common boundary with the adjoining farm is currently not fenced through part of the field since one tenant operates both farms. Several Heritage Trees can be found scattered throughout the forest and field edges. These ancient trees have withstood the test of time, weathering ice, wind, lightning strikes, fire and of course, woodpeckers.

Rich Hollow is home to a vast array of wildlife which includes an amazing variety of song birds, owls, hawks, woodpeckers, ravens and wild turkeys. White tailed deer, raccoon, opossums, rabbits, chipmunks, coyotes, bobcats, and foxes enjoy the protection offered by the forest.

The forest floor is home to several types of mushrooms, medicinal plants, ferns and cool green mosses. One could spend a lifetime getting to know this inviting environ.
