IMAGINE...21.68 ACRES.....This property is full of opportunity...can be big house for parents & small for kids as a ''family compound'' or it can be made into b & b with four separate in the ground septics for more rental property...or open up that commercial kitchen & start a plan with it...but don't forget the income coming from the US Cellular tower. Originally started out as storage barn with living qtrs but then previous owner/father got the two bdr house built, as he started his dream of a apple orchard. Orchard started producing & had a retail bldg/store at base of property. The big house got built with 4 bdr, huge garage, , on main level floor with storage space..two levels of living space, beautiful MOUNTAIN VIEWS... , couple lived here several years, house had hand hewn wood, room for crafts on top floor, big master bedroom, living area open great room style. Commercial kitchen could start operations tomorrow except roof needs work (executor says) but other than that it's in good shape. He used to bake in there and take down to the farmers market & sell there...I saw his work..it looked great. Concrete area was called ''high tunnel'' and it has heated floor for anything whether commercial or personal use...needs plastic put back around it big storm took it down. The kitchen and the barn do not have heat or air, there is a propane heater in barn but it would need separate tank. Two wells on property. One at bottom of property one on top. Small house has central heat and air. It's pretty new, has nice covered porch and again great views. So many things you could do with this. B & B overnite rentals, etc all let the kids have a house and love the land and get pets!! The cellular tower is on top of the hill, they maintain the road to it. Brings in $14,283. a year. Renewal increases every 5 years up 15%. (6% cap rate) They say they have been great about keeping the road up. On the road up there is where the septics were put in but they never built on them. So, what do you think this would be good as?? Could do big overnite b & b, use the kitchen to feed, or big restaurant, or build the houses on the septics, live in the 2 bdr house while renting out. Check in at the bottom of the Apple store. It needs work, son has been living there on and off for few years, repairing it. Still some left to do, but POTENTIAL IS BIG HERE!!! Or live in your big house & let the kids live in little house & sit outside and look at your view and live your life there. Could do some animals with some clearing. This property is in estate, no negotiation room, ''as is''. The son is here every now and then doing clean up, repairing, etc. But it's a awesome property.
