Unlock the potential of this unique estate property situated on 5 incredible acres in Rochester. Offering 2 homes, seasonal pond, beautiful territorial views, mature fruit trees/orchard, detached garage, and outbuildings, this property provides an incredible opportunity to restore, rebuild, or reimagine your dream country retreat. The main home is a one-story residence featuring 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a bonus room. The roof is approximately 10 years old and the home is equipped with solar panels. A separate guest house offers an additional 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, creating potential for multi-generational living, rental income, or guest accommodations after rehabilitation. Both homes require significant rehabilitation and are being sold strictly AS-IS. The value is primarily in the land and existing improvements. This is an estate sale, and the seller has limited knowledge of the property's condition. The septic system, well, structures, and all other improvements have NOT been professionally evaluated, and their condition is unknown. Buyer is responsible for conducting all inspections and verifying all information to their own satisfaction. Cash buyers only. The property is not expected to qualify for any loans. No interior showings will be permitted until mutual acceptance. If you're looking for a project with endless possibilities, close to I-5, shopping, a country feel- yet still close to to town, this is it!
