Description

Opportunity awaits with this unique A-frame situated on 1.88 private, unrestricted acres in Otto. The home was originally a 3 bedroom, 1 bath home with a loft, this property has been taken down to the studs and is ready for complete renovation or rebuild offering a true blank slate for your vision. A new 25-year shingle roof is already in place, providing a great start to the project. Features include two decks and a wood burning fireplace, with plenty of potential to restore or reimagine the space. The property offers a peaceful, private setting with room for gardens, chickens, or park your RV or boat. Ideal for investors, builders, or buyers looking for a project in a quiet location. Just off of a paved state maintained road, but tucked away off the road.
