The expansive parking area includes a covered space capacious enough to accommodate two full-size RVs, complete with electric and water hookups, ensures that your prized vehicles are sheltered from the elements. Additional uncovered parking spaces offer ample room for guests, making this property an entertainer's dream. Seller is a licensed real estate agent ready to pass the baton!
