Along the banks of this creek, the historic remnants of an old dam can still be foundbelieved to be the foundation of a once-operational grist mill. This quiet, rustic detail adds a unique historical flavor and a sense of timelessness to the property.

Wildlife: For those who cherish wildlife, Knob Hill Ranch is nothing short of a natural refuge. Its diverse habitat supports a thriving population of white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, bobwhite quail, mourning doves, and feral hogs.
