The pool table & wood stove with the property. Even has a wine closet too! It's got everything you'll need for a primary or vacation home. Outside there's a huge pole barn with 3 attached carports. Easy to house cars, trucks, boats, equipment, etc. Also a 20 x 20' workshop that is insulated and has a direct vent space heater unit (not hooked up).
