This is a terrific opportunity for someone to live in a 4 bedroom home and run a nursery business on a 3 acre property in Upper Freehold Twp. Seller wants to retire and will leave all plants and plant material, sale includes a huge 28 x 40 two story barn, 2 greenhouses, and cold frames. Home will need some extra tlc but has great bones. There is a deck off of dining room and a patio below. Very nice piece of property, bring horses, plant nursery trees, farm the back acreage...your choice!
