Serious potential buyers only, please.

Very easy income opportunity for anyone who wants to continue running the space as an Airbnb.
Can provide financial statements of yearly rental income.
But would also make a small family a perfect primary residence, especially for someone who wants to homestead in town or market garden.
Or do both.
To do both: The detached garden cabin was my first Airbnb before I began to Airbnb the main house instead. The garden cabin would surely still thrive as an Airbnb and was voted in 2017 as Indiana's most unique Airbnb.
