Based on the attached map, approximately 0.12 acres of wetlands sit at the back of the property, forming a natural buffer. A narrow stream appears to run diagonally across the back-left corner, connecting to the larger wetland area outside the parcel. These features are located well behind the buildable area, leaving roughly 1.44 acres of dry land ideal for a homesite, driveway, yard space, or even a small garden area. The wetlands stay tucked away at the rear, adding privacy and scenic value without interfering with the build zone at the front.
