Comments

This property would make a wonderful full-time or vacation home for a large family. The layout would also accommodate groups for church or corporate retreats.  More structures could be built on the adjoining lots if necessary.  Pricing at only $60 per square foot, is counting only the square footage of the home and apartment, it does not include the garage work shop, or the value of the land.
