The 30 X 30 metal building has electricity and propane monitor heater, separate room for office. Great opportunity to have home-based business. The park like setting of the 3.22 acres provides ample parking space and there is an RV hook up next to the garage. This home is being sold furnished, except for the seller's personal items. All furniture and window treatments convey, and all appliances convey. The propane tank for the cooking stove is leased. The propane tank for the garage heater is owned and stays. No hoa!
