The Property Story

Two honest ways to read this land

The wooded setting is the draw. About half to three-quarters of an acre is cleared at the center of the property, where the barndominium and its amenities sit, and everything around it is private forest. We present the property honestly for two very different buyers.

The land is partly gently rolling and partly flat, offering amazing building sites for a walkout or non-walkout ranch, or a multi-story home.

A private retreat

A secluded weekend escape, recreation property, or hunting cabin. Today it makes an awesome weekend retreat and could make a great hunting cabin.

A development play

A developer could cut the 54.8 acres into individual lots, subject to planning and zoning approvals. The topography supports multiple building sites.

The Barndominium

A cabin built for weekend life
