Adorable cottage located on .79 acres in beautiful Bee Tree Valley. Enjoy the pastoral views of this quiet quaint setting. Brand new roof and electrical panel. The lower level of the cottage was used as stables with 5 bays +/- in its previous life, and has a lot of potential for homesteading, keeping chickens or easily enclosing it and turning it into livable space, an artist studio, workshop or whatever you can imagine! Possibility to add another structure to the property... you would need to explore setbacks and etc with county zoning. The opportunities are endless! This cottage has rented for $1250/mo. There are no restriction on rentals: STRs, VRBO, short and long term rentals allowed. Also available is pin number 968935156200000 (551 Bee Tree Road) for a combined 1.64 acres including the one cottage and one historic farmhouse.
