The oversized garage provides ample space for vehicles, storage, or workshop space and if that is not sufficient there are 3 additional outbuildings on property. Surrounded by mature trees and natural landscaping the setting offers a true sense of seclusion. The upper part of the property presents the potential for an additional building site with sweeping views and a rare opportunity to create a private retreat, entertaining space, or scenic overlook.
