8 acres with waterfall, 1925 cape, cottage and outbuildings. All in need of restoration and repair. Waterfall on property. Most likely not sub-dividable due to wetlands and topography . Being sold as is and with all contents to be removed by buyer. Separate septic for house and cottage. Cottage is older than the house. Best use would be for someone who loves nature and privacy and is willing to restore or rebuild.
