Land and Outdoor Setting

The 12-acre parcel is mostly wooded, with a rolling slope and a country setting surrounded by trees. The land may appeal to buyers who value wooded acreage and outdoor space, subject to the property’s terrain, access, and any applicable land-use restrictions.

The property is described as having wooded and country views, with seasonal mountain views noted in the listing information. The combination of trees and rolling ground gives the acreage a more natural character than a typical residential lot.

Garage and Workshop

A detached two-car garage provides covered parking, while the attached workshop area adds space for tools, equipment, hobbies, or property maintenance. Buyers should verify the condition of both structures and the suitability of the workshop for their intended use.

Utilities and Property Systems

The listed utility arrangements include public water and a septic tank. Heating is listed as propane and other, with window-unit cooling. Prospective buyers should confirm the operation and condition of the heating and cooling equipment, septic system, water connection, and other essential systems during due diligence.

Property Condition and Buyer Considerations

This property is best evaluated with its repair needs in mind. Before making a purchase decision, buyers may wish to arrange a home inspection, assess the roof and structural components, review the fireplace and heating systems, and obtain an evaluation of the septic system. The garage, workshop, driveway, and wooded acreage should also be examined in person.

For buyers considering changes to the land or additional improvements, verify parcel boundaries, access rights, applicable zoning and building requirements, and any restrictions before proceeding. The usability of individual areas of the sloping, wooded acreage will depend on site conditions.
