    What's special

    Bring your vision to life on this expansive 4.86-acre property, offering a unique opportunity for a complete renovation or the chance to build your own dream home from the ground up. The property provides ample space for personal farming and small livestock, including goats and sheep, and may also be suitable for creating a small horse farm, subject to local zoning and permitting requirements. Enjoy the best of both worlds privacy and open space while remaining conveniently close to major roads, shopping, dining, and everyday amenities. The property is also located near well-regarded schools, making it an attractive option for those looking to create a private country lifestyle without sacrificing convenience. Whether you're looking for a substantial renovation project, a private homestead, or the opportunity to design and build a custom home, this property offers space, flexibility, and endless potential. There was a new roof, new 2 bedroom septic and new well installed the past 2 to 4years. However: this is an estate. Property, home and outbuildings are sold strictly "as is". Any CO requirements would be the full responsibility of the buyer.
