The property consists of two parcel IDs, totaling 10.41 acres, and offers an excellent opportunity for a new home site, cabin retreat, or pasture / hobby farm use.
Formerly the site of a residence, the home recently sustained a fire and the remnants of the structure have not been cleaned up. The property is being sold AS-IS, and the buyer will be responsible for any cleanup or removal related to the fire-damaged structures. All personal property will also remain.
Despite the fire damage, the property retains several valuable features, including:
A 72 x 42 post-frame (pole) building still standing near the former home site
A 22 x 16 detached garage
A large partially fenced pasture area, suitable for horses or small livestock
A long, tree-lin...
A long, tree-lined driveway providing privacy and an attractive setting
Open acreage ideal for rebuilding, pasture, or recreational use
Approximately 2 +/- acres consists of the former home site, with approximately 7.75 +/- acres in open ground and partially fenced pasture. The secluded setting off US Highway 24 offers both convenient access and rural privacy, making it a strong candidate for someone looking to rebuild or repurpose the land.
This property presents a blank-slate opportunity for buyers willing to take on cleanup in exchange for acreage, existing improvements, and a scenic building site.
