This 1.5 story BRICK HOME was once a beautiful family home but has been vacant for years. Rumor has it, "Spencer Penrose", had this home built in 1908 with white columns on 3.36 acres with 3 Beaver Creek Ditch shares. It was a beautiful lush apple orchard called "ARCADIA FARMS." Unfortunately squatters move in and made a mess of it, but this may be your opportunity to bring it back to it's glory. Needs lots of clean up and work OR "Scrape It" and the other remnants of a home and barn, get the irrigation working and build something beautiful. There were two homes on this land at one time so it's possible you may be able to do that again. Plenty of acreage for a hobby farm, barn and livestock. There are two water taps still in place. Seller will not repair anything so it is being sold "AS IS." CASH ONLY. 2 detached garages still stand. Worth a look.
