Everyone likes to find a property that offers a unique opportunity. This property is one of those. The 31 +/- acres are made of open and wooded ready-to-be-certified organic land. The wooded hillside is filled with sugar maple trees. This north facing slope is an herbalists heaven with very good wild plant diversity. There is also a wide variety of apple trees and some birch. Open land is found both in the valley and on the ridge. Various springs feed into the small creek that runs nearly the length of the land. The newer 40 x 60 structure sits on a cement slab with in-floor heat PECs tubing running through for future heat. The slab is 6" thick under the dwelling portion and 5" thick under the 40 x 28 garage side. The current heat source is a wood furnace with a blower the seller bought new. Partially finished, the interior living space is designed for a kitchen/dining area, living room, one to two bathrooms, main floor laundry/pantry, and a large 25 x 26 upper level for one large or two or three smaller bedrooms. (If a new owner would like, the seller will consider the option of continuing the work in process.) When complete this home should be super insulated. The offset double 2x4 front wall should provide an R-26 insulation value. The current steel walls and ceiling with sprayed on insulation provide an R-8 insulation value and when complete the walls can be expected to be in the mid R-20s and the ceiling the low R-40s. There is a new septic system sized for a three-bedroom home that has never been used. Also on the property are two wells both drilled three years ago. One well serves the current dwelling; the other could be used for gardening or a second home as it is placed near an additional building site. The garage portion of the structure has both a 12 x 10 and a 9x7 garage door. There is a 200 amp breaker box, a pressure tank with a self draining well system that makes coming and going during the colder months very easy when used as a second home. A telephone land line with DSL Internet has been installed. The sixteen foot ceiling accommodates the indoor basketball hoop. The land has not been hunted for at least six years, and draws deer, turkey and other wildlife. The seller has seen three bald eagles during his time of ownership. There is an additional 17 acres also available for sale. This property is located in the north eastern part of Vernon County. It is close to Ontario for canoeing the Kickapoo River, the Elroy-Sparta bike trail, and Wildcat Mountain state park. And as an extra plus...the taxes are low...the 2011 taxes were only $734!!
