DREAMS INTERUPTED. Project home was purchased with all intentions to fix up and occupy. However, life got in the way - fixer-upper home in now in "as is" condition. 10 beautifully wooded acres, new well, huge pole barn, and two-car garage. Hot tub & wood stove in pole barn. Perfect project for an up north home, deer camp, or very private residence. Many deer and other wildlife spotted here. Sorry, cash is about the only thing that will work to purchase this one.
