Tastefully decorated in rustic charm, the seller could offer this turnkey and fully furnished.The 2/1 Hiline Home was placed in 2020 and shares 60 GPM well along with DEQ approvals on both homes and separate septic systems.The garage was converted into an exercise room and storage area with outside access to the adjoining carport.Either of these homes would make a great VRBO for extra income, managers dwelling or full-time residences.Wood heat, mini splits, propane instant hot water and appliances provide cost efficiency. Both homes have dog kennels and runs and have audio/video surveillance.There are raised garden beds with asparagus and raspberries with an underground sprinkler system.Prolific springs that are developed are well scattered throughout the three pastures where more are undeveloped for future resources for wildlife and cattle. 3 miles of seasonal Lone Pine Creek traverses the boundary line close to John Day National Monument in Clarno with a wealth of history and vast geological formations.Current use is grazing, equine and hunting.
