Opportunity awaits the savvy buyer! 32+/- acres with a quirky house and barn that are in need of total rehab, or a buyer might consider removing the home & starting over. Total acreage consists of 3 parcels. One parcel of 3.4 (surveyed) acres has the house & barn. The 18+/- acre parcel shares a pond with a neighboring home and has frontage on 2 roads. The 3rd parcel is 11+/- acres with a pond. Seller and seller’s agent have no additional information to share & no knowledge of systems, so the buyer will have to verify all available information and do their due diligence regarding occupancy, buildability, wetlands, etc. A new septic system will be needed (buyer's responsibility), and location of a well is unknown. Being sold “as-is” to a cash buyer.
