Property Description
Opportunity awaits at 970 River Road in Dresden. Set on just over 6 acres, this classic farmhouse property offers a unique combination of land, outbuildings, and potential for someone ready to take on a project. The property features a farmhouse, barn, and a large farm pond, with plenty of room for gardening, animals, recreation, or simply enjoying the open space.
