First time offered for sale in nearly 60 years! A rare opportunity to acquire 12.90 acres in a convenient central island location, cshort walk to schools and community bus routes. Approximately 3 acres of usable land surround an older 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage in need of TLC. The property features an established orchard with apple, plum, pear, apricot and cherry trees, plus kiwi vines, a year-round pond, pottery studio, and various sheds and outbuildings.
