The interior is finished with a bathroom, laundry room, bedroom, full washroom, and a 10'x40' loft with four bunk spaces, allowing the structure to function immediately as a temporary residence, guest quarters, or seasonal duck camp rental. A 36,000 BTU mini-split system provides efficient heating and cooling, and three oversized garage doors allow easy access for equipment, boats, or side-by-sides.Utilities are already established with electric on site, installed septic system, rural water, and an RV hookup. A 40'x70' prepped building pad offers additional flexibility for parking, expansion, or future home construction.With immediate proximity to thousands of acres of public hunting land, this property presents a rare combination of farm functionality, build-ready infrastructure, and recreational income potential, including use as a duck-season Airbnb or private retreat. Opportunities with this level of improvement, location, and versatility are increasingly hard to find in Vernon County.
