Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1371400, other record living area = 3440.
Historic Age of Property: Built in 1900, the property is over a century old, which may imply the need for substantial updates to systems, infrastructure, and interior finishes to meet contemporary standards and buyer expectations.
Lack of Specific Modern Upgrades Mentioned: While described as 'ranch style living,' the listing does not detail recent renovations or modern amenities, which could be a drawback for buyers expecting contemporary features in a property at this price point.
Potential for High Maintenance Costs: An older home on a sprawling 5-acre lot can inherently lead to higher ongoing maintenance expenses for both the historic structure and the extensive grounds.
