A prior applicant proposed to demo & rebuild as a 100-bed assisted living facility, but due to site & budget constraints is deemed more cost-effective to renovate and re-design for a wide range of Level 5 Use possibilities such as a school, religious or health-related center with likely max 25 occupant limit per recent perc test. Or simply renovate the home and use the second building for rec use or storage. Renovation costs likely to run additional $2MM-$4MM on top of purchase. Has 50 GPM well, plus deeded water rights to creek, and 5 dry ponds from a defunct treatment system that can be repurposed as scenic water features.
