Outside, the property continues to impress with a workshop attached to a storage room that includes a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom studio with a kitchen ideal for guests, rental income, or a private workspace. A separate 2 car garage/barn (chicken coop) adds even more versatility for storage, equipment, or hobby use.
