* Back on market, no fault of seller. Unique opportunity to own your own private octagonal oasis. Designed by master builder, inventor, and artisan John Ditman this energy efficient home and the surrounding land has been the envy of all who have visited since 1986. This sale is for two lots totaling 67 acres (40.24a and Additional Parcel +27 acres Map0104 Grid0004 Parcel0118) From the vast main room to the second-floor sunroom down to its full footprint basement w 100% footprint subbasement storage there are many possibilities, (we will soon have the original blueprints posted so you can figure out this layout. ) Workshop and exterior debris is being removed throughout the weekend. Property will be re-photographed this weekend after a thorough cleaning . Seller is open to offers involving paint or repairs billable at closing but in the interest of being honest and transparent to buyers no painting or recent repair has been undertaken. Fresh paint covers up too many insights into property is our opinion.
