A 1,367-Square-Foot Shop Is Already on the Property

Established 380-Foot Water Well

Another significant feature is the property's established approximately 380-foot water well. According to the listing information, the well taps into a stable aquifer and provides a year-round water source. The property is listed with well water installed and no sewer.

With approximately 2.4 cleared acres, buyers have the opportunity to explore how they want to use the property.
