Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1977, this property is explicitly described as a 'DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH,' indicating a need for significant updates. The images confirm this, showcasing kitchens with outdated tile countertops, older light wood cabinets, and white appliances that are not modern. Bathrooms also feature older vanities, cultured marble/laminate countertops, and dated tile work. While the property appears well-maintained for its age and functional, it requires substantial cosmetic renovations to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning with the 'Fair' category's criteria of being aged but maintained, with major components showing signs of being outdated.

Cons
Age and Renovation Potential: Built in 1977, the property is nearly 50 years old, and the description explicitly labels it a 'DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH,' suggesting that significant updates, repairs, or renovations may be required across the various structures to modernize or optimize.
High Maintenance and Operational Costs: A 25+ acre property with extensive equestrian facilities, multiple residences, and numerous outbuildings will likely incur substantial ongoing maintenance, utility, and operational costs, demanding a dedicated owner.
