This 3.58-acre Black Forest property, located on Shoup Road and across from Black Forest Regional Park*, presents an incredible home-building opportunity for a new owner. Remodeling was well underway on the 1898 home before illness stopped work. The historic home features hardwood floors, a vintage wood stove, brick chimney(s), stained-glass window(s) and more. A sale can include various tools and building supplies useful for continuing the remodel. The older mobile home attached to the original house is a habitable fixer-upper that would be great for on-site living quarters while construction work continues. Or, if a new owner prefers to clear the property and build a new home, the parcel already has a septic system and domestic well in place, as well as full perimeter fencing and power, phone and natural-gas service. There are multiple outbuildings, including a detached one-car garage. The property is wooded with some open meadows, and was untouched by the fires of recent years. (*Black Forest Regional Park offers miles of hiking trails, as well as tennis courts, playgrounds and other recreational amenities.)
