Bring your vision and your tool belt. This one already has the bones, the acreage, and the outbuildings in place. The 3-bedroom, 1-bath main house needs work and is priced to reflect it. This is a true fixer-upper, sold as-is, and the equity goes to the buyer willing to earn it. What you can't add later is already here: 1.2 fully fenced acres, a separate detached 1-bedroom, 1-bath ADU, and approximately 1,500 square feet of garage and storage space. That combination is the story. Two separate dwellings on a single parcel is difficult and expensive to replicate from the ground up, and roughly 1,500 square feet of garage/storage gives you room for vehicles, equipment, a workshop, a boat, or materials staging while the renovation is underway. The perimeter fencing is already in place, a meaningful savings on a parcel this size. The detached ADU adds flexibility: guest quarters, extended family, a home office or studio, or potential rental income. Buyer to verify permitted use, legal status, and any rental or occupancy restrictions with the county. The land is usable and fully fenced, with room for gardens, animals, RV or trailer parking, additional outbuildings, or future expansion, subject to county approval. Well suited to a buyer who wants space to work and store without a deed restriction dictating what parks in the driveway. Renovation scope should be evaluated in person. Cash, renovation financing such as a 203(k), or private funds are recommended, as the property is unlikely to qualify for conventional financing in its current condition. Inspections are welcome and encouraged. All measurements, acreage, square footage, ADU status, and permitted uses are approximate and should be independently verified by the buyer during the inspection period. Properties with this footprint — two dwellings, real acreage, fencing, and this much covered storage — do not come around often. Bring your offers.
