Hiking trails and hundreds of miles of groomed snowmobile trails are close by. Currently being used as a year round Air Bnb type rental property, this is a turn key opportunity for either personal use, as an income property or a combination of the 2. Dishes, furnishings, linens, etc all are included in the sale. The large poured cement floor garage has a good sized partially finished living area up above. Included with the sale are 2 other parcels (608 and 610), for a total of just under 1.5 acres.
