This diagram has been altered by the Realtor to estimate the location of the .81 acre parcel that is not included in the listing.

Above are GPS readings taken on the survey stakes. They are only accurate within 13 feet so this is only approimate. What is important to note that there is a walkway and plenty of space between the .81 acre parcel and the cliff to the gorge. So the parcel does not obstruct use along the gorge and waterfalls.
