Great potential for home based business. Ample space for yoga studio, music studio, Air B & B, grow vineyard, horse property, so many opportunities! Amazing property with historical value. Built as a 15 bed 9 bath hotel, it has been used for several decades as a private residential home. Stunning hardwood floors, 4.72 flat acres (that can be split), 2 massive fireplaces, propane heat, 3 furnaces, septic (has been pumped & certified), roof approx 7 years old. This property sits in one of the prettiest meadows in all of east county! Gorgeous views and serene setting. This property has opportunity for horses. During the gold rush days in Julian, this was the 1/2 way mark to downtown & the reason it was built. SOOOO much potential to create an amazing get away. Let your imagination run and call me for details!
