Description

An unbelievable opportunity to own a little place on the PM River. A secluded setting with over 100' on the South Branch. Lots of potential for this fixer upper, great views and access to the river. A cash buyer will be needed due to condition of this cabin. At this time only the cabin structure is there. Unknown on any well, septic being on property. Cabin has updated breaker box, unknown about any plumbing. Needs a new roof. No kitchen or bath. Inside was framed out for a bathroom and 2 Bedrooms....An unbelievable opportunity to own a little place on the PM River. A secluded setting with over 100' on the South Branch.
