Whether you're picking grapes, relaxing beneath the arbor with your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine, or tending the gardens, you'll appreciate the peaceful lifestyle this property provides. The impressive 40' x 30' pole barn with an additional 40' x 12' open lean-to offers exceptional space for tractors, equipment, recreational vehicles, boats, ATVs, or all the tools needed for country living.
