Does 23+ acres of land, a 6 room house with 3 bedrooms, a woodworking shop, out buildings, garden spots, rhubarb and raspberry patches, timber, and lots of privacy appeal to you? If so, you should take a look at this move-in ready home and property. With all that said, the source of heat is the wood stove in the basement, which has been fine for the 15 years the house has been built. However, If you are financing, the lender will want another source of heat, like a heat pump or a propane heater. The seller is willing to give a credit if that is the case. The property is priced to move so act accordingly.
