  • Description

    Description

    An established 69 year old who has too many projects to do on my own anymore. I cleared this land and built this property over the last 44 years. It is getting to be too much work to keep up with the maintenance. Need gardening and yard help so I can spend more time with my 3 little grandchildren. I have a small scale garlic plantation, a large yard, and a new riding lawn mower. My place is on a lake that is known as a warm swimming lake. I have a canoe, and motor boat, as well as a river boat.
