Former Franklin Lumber Mill on 5.49 acres of "Rural Commercial" zoned land.? This site is located in the popular Cartoogechaye area with flat to moderately sloping topography.? It is improved with 4 metal structures on concrete pads, some 12".? The buildings were used as cut shops, drying (kiln) and storage.? They are in various stages of disrepair with the kiln seemingly the worst.? An old sales/office trailer remains on the property.? Abandoned years ago and fairly hidden by trees, the property has attracted vandals in recent years.? This could become a renewed industrial use or zoned down for a good residential use particularly in the Maxwell Home neighborhood with the impressive Indian Hills subdivision next door and others along Maxwell Home.?
