Awesome 5 acre parcel in Melrose area. Nicely wooded & shaded home site on usable ground. All utilities there: old septic, decent well and power on the property. Presently has old MHD on property but it is being removed. Beautiful setting for new home or MH. Not that far out, but feels like out there. 10x24 storage building & 24x24 metal shop building. There is also a creek in back that seller says runs year round. Possible owner terms.
