Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1971, making it over 50 years old. While the description states the homes provide 'good comfortable housing,' the kitchen and bathroom, which are the focus of this assessment, are significantly outdated. The kitchen features older wood cabinets, tile countertops, and dated appliances, along with laminate flooring and fluorescent lighting. The bathroom has an older vanity, dated faucets, and checkered tile flooring. These elements suggest the main house has not undergone a major renovation in at least 30 years. However, the visible areas appear functional and maintained, rather than exhibiting significant defects or being unsafe, which aligns with the 'fair' category where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated and require minor updates or repairs.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Multiple Dwellings & Income Potential: The property features three homes on over 4 acres, offering significant flexibility for multi-generational living, potential rental income, or housing for farm staff.
Commercial Agricultural Zoning & Use: Zoned for Commercial Ag, this farm/ranch has a proven history of growing and processing produce, providing immense potential for various agricultural ventures.
Expansive & Usable Land: With over 4 acres of level and gently sloped land, the property is highly versatile for farming, livestock, or creating a private estate with ample space.
Valuable Infrastructure: A rare find with an excellent well, crucial for agricultural operations and self-sufficiency, complemented by outbuildings suitable for workshops, artisans, or storage.
Strategic Location & View: The property is close to major transportation lines, enhancing accessibility for commercial activities and commuting, while also offering pleasant 'Hills' views.
Cons
Dated Condition of Homes: Built in 1971, the homes are described as 'not fancy,' indicating they are likely dated and may require significant renovation or modernization to meet current aesthetic and functional standards.
Potential for Significant Investment: Given the age and described condition of the dwellings, a buyer should anticipate considerable investment for necessary upgrades, repairs, or aesthetic improvements.
Undefined MLS Area: The MLS area being 'Not Defined' (699) could potentially complicate market analysis and understanding specific local market dynamics or comparable sales.
