Large tree in foreground is not on
the property but gives idea of view
from Hwy 20. This is how it looks
with no leaves but with leaves the
adjoining property would be
hidden.
The property is fairly flat at the
street frontage and most of the
way back.
They aren't the best high quality
trees however they do perform the
buffer. This tree buffer starts here
and goes west along Hwy 20 until
you get to the Days Inn area.
