Located on over 27 acres this offering includes a main residence with 4 bedrooms and 3 additional homes currently rented. In addition there are 3 old mobile homes that are in poor shape but have power, water, and sewer hookups. Now we also add in an old store building fronting on the road and a huge well built barn near the main residence. There are also several small outbuildings for storage. The land is rolling and every time I go there I see deer. There is a spring and small creek. This would be excellent for a family compound or set it up for seasonal RV spots while having full time rental income from the homes. Seller will divide the 27 acres into a 15 acre and a 12 acre tract see MLS
