Retired or retiring, but not ready to reduce income and flow of money? Save on gas - no driving to work - current owners average between $75 - 80 thousand per year without utilizing its fullest potential. Buying a home that pays for itself makes cents, earning money while property value appreciates. Save retirement funds you may be receiving for other things while building equity in this self-sustaining income producing property - make mortgage payments and more with proceeds from business, tuck it away or invest it. Lots of potential, even career potential for additional programs/endeavors that yet have been explored, equating to even more revenue - do weddings, add gifts - engage your own imagination, create your own identity, expand number of guest rooms in place of dinner or continue doing both.
1-Acre park-like grounds, perfect weather and setting for catering small weddings, outdoor dining, and other outdoor activities/festivities - more potential.
