Property Description

PRICE DROP! Great Buy! Have you ever wanted to own an old school house to be repurposed? Here is your chance- except this is all DONE! The house was built by the US Government and was the old school house for the area. This cozy and comfortable house needs your personal touches! 4 bedrooms and 2 baths! Fiber Optic is available. It was at one time the School House for Los Sauces. Also contained on the property at one time was the Teachers house- the General Store and next door the old Dance Hall!. This is a great house- with power and two wells and septic in place. A Rennai heater is is in place to back up the wood heat. An old antique cookstove is also included with the kitchen appliances.
