Set on 5 private acres in Maple Park, this is the kind of place that's hard to find and even harder to let go of.

The 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers comfortable, low-maintenance living with a NEW roof and siding (2025) and the peace of mind of well and septic.

Whether it's a business, a trade, or a lifelong passion, you finally have the space to do it right with flatbed access to match.

The intent of this district is to ensure that land areas in the County that are well suited for production of food and fiber are retained for such production, unimpeded by the establishment of incompatible uses which would hinder farm operations and irretrievably deplete agricultural lands; The A-1 District acknowledges that agriculture is a specialized form of industry characterized by the production through biological and botanical processes of saleable farm products as a result of the combination of raw materials soils, seeds, plants, water, and nutrients, manpower farm labor and machinery, and energy solar and power equipment.
