Backup offers will be considered. So much more than an MLS bed/bath count! Rare near 5-acre retreat with unmatched flexibility, privacy, and beauty. Two living spaces, outbuildings, streams, spring, and fruit trees in a private cove at the end of the road. Ready to move in or generate income (or both), with infrastructure already in place for expansion. Anchored by a modern compact cabin with 2 sleeping areas (loft not HSF). Efficiency and attractiveness combine with quality materials and thoughtful design. Front porch has mountain views, and there’s level ground to enjoy. Quality construction overlooks a sloping meadow, tiny home (on wheels), fruit orchard, shed, and workshop. Tiny home is on a 3-bed septic, perfect for future build. Mountainsides remained stable w no debris flow despite the historic hurricane. Wired high speed internet. Seller believes adjoining property is nature conservancy buyer to verify.

OU
Open Use District
The OU Open Use District is established as a district in which all uses are allowed by right, except for certain uses that are regulated as conditional uses so as to ensure that neighborhood impact is mitigated. Additionally, those uses which are specific to the Airport Industry District (AI) are excluded from the OU Open Use District. The neighborhood impact from conditional uses will be mitigated through the use of minimum specific site standards combined with general standards which provide the flexibility to impose a higher level of specific site standards dependent upon the degree of neighborhood impact. No zoning permit shall be required for permitted uses in the OU Open Use District.
Permitted uses
