A separate large year round custom barn across the driveway is comprised of sleeping areas, a workshop, 2 parking areas, finished first floor with radiant heat, sauna, gym, media space and a full bathroom. The second floor of the barn has a reading room, substantial storage and so much potential.

The option to buy this waterfront property with it's cottage may be also available. Details upon request. This property has one more additional building right for a residential home on the property.
