Above the store are five bedrooms, two kitchens, two living rooms, two bathrooms, and two laundry areas just waiting to be updated and become a cool AirBnB with views of North Toe River and surrounding mountains, a full time residence for a family, or whatever your heart desires. Behind the store is the barber shop where folks could get a haircut for about 30 years. This was eventually converted to living space with a living and sleeping area, kitchen, laundry area, and full bathroom, and the store to an antique shop. There are three additional buildings on the property that would be perfect for storage or for homesteading. According to local accounts, the well on this property is so great it almost flooded the community when it was drilled before it could be capped. There do appear to be a few buried tanks on the property and those from the community believe these were filled with sand though no one has a record of this. The seller will be keeping the river frontage on one side of the property but the river frontage on the other side of the property that is located across the road will convey. A new survey will be needed. Make your appointment to view this unique property before your chance is gone! Owner financing not being offered. Proof of funds or loan pre-approval required to view property.
