Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1993 and explicitly described as a 'diamond in the rough,' the property is aged over 30 years without evidence of major interior renovations. While the home features functional systems like paid-off solar and a newer water filtration system, the interior likely retains original 1990s styles and requires modernization in the kitchen and bathrooms. The 'fair' rating reflects a property that is functional and maintained but shows significant signs of being outdated and requires minor to moderate updates to meet current market standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 148540, living area = 2721.
The property is a fully-equipped homestead featuring a 1,000-foot well, paid-off solar, and A70 zoning, providing a turnkey setup for self-sustaining living and livestock.
With a finished basement featuring a half kitchen and two primary suites upstairs, the 2,700+ sq ft layout offers exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family, or a home business.
Explicitly labeled as a 'diamond in the rough,' the property will likely require significant capital investment for repairs and modernizing the 1993-built interior.
While the zoning allows for horses and includes a corral, the lack of direct trail access may be a drawback for active riders seeking immediate wilderness connectivity.
