Additional shed and outdoor wood stove heats the entire home with back-up gas heat that kicks in when fire runs low. A gift shop is included, where we had many alpaca product sales and the property would buzz with activity, including bus tours. Land has a clean wildlife pond (kids liked to canoe and ice skate!) Great sledding hill and luge-type trail down to pond. We have rented out the "back 40" to hunters as wildlife is abundant. Deer and turkeys are hunted, and an occasional bear wanders through. Many apple trees are on the property and a small orchard was planted a few years ago. There are some fenced pastures and a plot that is planted, and many types of trees on the property. Christmas trees are throughout - balsam and spruce. There is an adjacent property for sale, including 5 acres, a newer barn, and a 2010 home that was built for Mom, some is view-able on the video.
