Fantastic location and opportunity with this ranch-style home situated on 2 acres zoned AG and no HOA! This property features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a small 3rd bedroom or bonus room previously added by the former owner—perfect for an office, hobby room, or additional storage. The home has a metal roof with ridge vents and real solid wood board-and-batten siding all around. The property includes extensive concrete areas for parking and access, plus a dedicated RV concrete storage pad. A spacious 2-car garage comes complete with storage closets, a workbench, and a remote opener. While the home needs a full renovation, it offers excellent potential for an investor or handyman looking to bring it back to life. Systems include a gas water heater (2013) and furnace/AC (2010). Property sold AS-IS with no disclosures, as the seller has never resided there. Note: A small outside fire damaged some exterior siding on the left side of the house—there was no interior fire, and repairs appear straightforward. Vacant and easy to show—please contact the listing agent for an appointment and lockbox code. Cash offers preferred with short due diligence and quick closing. Blind offers will not be considered. Septic tank will be inspected and pumped in a few days, report will be available. Multiple offers are in, so we are calling for highest and best by 5 pm Monday 1-12-26.
