A spacious insulated 40’ x 64’ shop with two 16’ and 14’ overhead doors provides more than adequate room to park multiple vehicles, tractors, and ‘toys’, yet still allows room for a workshop. Attached to the shop is a 16’ lean-to for equipment. The floor is poured concrete, and the entire structure is heated with an outdoor wood hot water boiler. Solar panels, along with a backup generator provide power for the building. The upper floor hosts a living area with a modest kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, office, and utility area. This shop combines to offer a convenient and efficient place to live, store, repair, craft, and recreate.
A separate wood shed is located next to the wood boiler and another equipment shelter stands on it’s own.
With about 7 acres of cultivation, this south-facing sunny location is prime for a hobby farm, orchards, and gardens.

About 10 acres out of the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) that has great development potential for adding to a proposed subdivision directly on the southern portion.
