A Hunters' Paradise! Lots of wildlife to hunt. The current owners bought it with a dream of creating a Venue. 2 Acres of a Lavendar farm was added. Net value of $14K a year to enjoy it's beauty and later extract the lavendar oils to sell. This property was a former Cattle Ranch so if you are looking for a Barn to house your horses, cows, pigs or whatever suits you, you have found your new home. The barn, often referred to as Big Red, has a coral outside, Electrical fence (needs a little repair) and stalls and hay shoots to make it all come together. Upper level of this barn walks out level to the ground and could support a great venue. The possibilities are endless. The silo and troughs are ready to feed the livestock. Add on a room attached that use to be used for milking. This too comes with possibilities. Maybe a Veterinarian office, or office headquarters for the venue or supporting the working farm. You pick! 3 more Pole Barns can be found on this property. They have been used for things like storing hay, storing RV's, storing boats at a cost to the nearby Croton/Hardy Damn boaters.
