The Neighborhood:
There are neighbors in this area but their properties are as secluded as is this property and you will likely not see them.
Other Things to Note:
For convenience, the nearby town of Luther offers a grocery store, gas station, churches and other small town amenities. The larger town of Baldwin is 15 miles south on Rt. 37 and offers a broader selection of the same resources. NOTE: Recently, in early July, the Luther grocery store and hardware store were destroyed by a fire. The is a convenient Carrieville grocery for immediate needs nearby Luther. Otherwise, Baldwin has both grocery stores and a large hardware store. As such it is suggested that Baldwin would be a good source of groceries and the ACE hardware store there, with a huge inventory, is worth visiting.
