Remarks: This is a very nice, stand alone farm unit. With the existing inventory of trees, a buyer can hit the ground running in the Christmas tree business. The land is very conducive to this operation and additional land could be utilized for the production of trees. There are other potential uses for this property such as grass seed production, ranching, or even wine grape production on some of the slopes. The home is of little value but does allow for a replacement dwelling and the out buildings are in very good condition. There is a large pond on the property.

The sellers would prefer to be cashed out of this property; however a short term contract with a substantial down payment may be considered. The seller will also consider selling this farm without the tree inventory. Contact the listing agents for more information.
