Property Description
Nestled on 4.5 serene lakefront acres, this charming Victorian home—built in circa 1830 and once a beloved bed and breakfast—offers timeless character and endless potential. As the original homestead of the area, it boasts six spacious bedrooms, 7.5 bathrooms, a 3-car garage, and separate in-law quarters for added flexibility. Though it could use a little TLC, the property features unique extras like a 60x20 chicken coop with a concrete floor and a shed with electricity. Rich with history and opportunity, this is a rare chance to own a piece of local heritage in a truly picturesque setting.
