Sweet! An just in time for the holidays. This cabin has been lived in year round and has a drilled well, septic and electric. The basement has been partially finished with the fixtures of a 3/4 bath but no wall coverings, so the square footage is not counted here. The tenant does not have internet so it is best to check on phone/tv and internet from the providers. The property is being divided from the parcel across the street and they may be purchased together. See MLS #5069927 This is a nice level to rolling lot with some open and some woods, has a 2 car garage, 2 enclosed porches and is well put together inside.

This stream offers some great summertime activities such as swimming and fishing! The house and attached barns can be a showplace with some love, and this property is looking for that person who can bring it back to its former glory days. As they say, the buildings have good bones, so consider this a blank canvas to do whatever you please for renovations. Since it's very original, you can update without having to tear out former "improvements" that might have taken away the antique charm. Since it was a working farm at one time, it still has the old silo. Years ago, this was made into a 4-level living unit. You can bring this back to life and use it as a very unique vacation rental or keep it as a very cool place for your kids and grandkids - much cooler than a treehouse! The attached barns are huge and for years they were used as an antique store. You could do that again, or you could use it for animals. With the open land which supplies a big supply of hay each year, this property would be great for horses, cows, and other large animals. There is also a sugar house, plus a separate building out front that was also used for the antique business. Several apple trees, a huge rhubarb patch, and more!
