OVERVIEW

The 145 acre Springfield Farm is an exceptional multi-use recreational property with a mixture of rolling cropland, pasture and mature hardwood forest. The diverse topography of the forest and fields makes for a diverse plant and wildlife habitat. Water plays an important part in the landscape that is supported by a small farm pond, bogs, two mountain springs and several ephemeral mountain streams.

The long views over the adjoining farms and distant mountain ranges, coupled with the very low population density of farming country, create a “world away” feeling.
