Lots of work needed here to bring this house back to being the sweet cottage it has been in the past. No extra charge for the abandoned stuff-stuff-stuff on the property, either — a scavenger's adventure. It's a mess. BUT, what a view! What a beautiful almost-10 acres! The sunsets! Don't miss the basement — it's better than you think. All very close to hardtop roads and just a hop and a skip from the public land at Lake Perry. Out of state owner has not seen the property in some years — his knowledge of its condition is extremely limited. Please make your offer based on absolute as-is condition including the your taking on the abandoned stuff-stuff-stuff on site. Sellers are, by chance, licensed real estate agents in Arizona.
