Property Description

This estate sale is a rare live/work property on five wooded acres in Zimmerman. At its heart: a heated ~4,800 sq ft shop built by a cabinet maker — two connected bays with 3-phase capability (via on-site converter), geothermal + radiant heat, a built-in 80-gallon air compressor, an office, a bath on its own compliant septic, heavy-duty pallet racking, and its own electric meter. Zoned General Rural and run as a cabinet business for years, so a home-based trade is proven here (buyer to confirm intended use with the county). The home is a split-entry 4-bedroom, 2-bath with warm oak cabinetry, a finished lower level, two fireplaces, and an oversized 3-car heated garage. A separate ~480 sq ft suite — its own entrance, kitchen, bath, laundry, in-floor heat, and indoor parking — rents (~$1,000/mo) or houses family. Peace of mind is documented: a new engineered septic, county-verified compliant (2026), plus a private well and a steel roof (2022). And because the shop is attached to the home, the whole property can be financed on one 30-year home loan — a structural advantage no bare lot offers. Owning this can cost less than building the equivalent from scratch. Adjoining acreage may be available separately by private arrangement.
