The centerpiece is an impressive 60' x 40' shop with 16' wallsideal for vehicles, equipment, recreational toys, projects, storage, or a serious workspace. A separate 24' x 30' barn with tack room, water, electricity, and paddock adds even more flexibility for horses or other uses.

With ample usable land and additional possibilities, the property offers an opportunity to enjoy it as-is or explore future plans for the acreage. Direct access to miles of off-road trails adds to the recreational appeal, with swimming, fishing, hiking, and skiing all nearby. Approximately 5 minutes to I-80 and 30 minutes to the slopes.
