A well known property, MapleCrest Farm, tucked into rolling hills and surrounded by mature trees, this 6-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a rare combination of charm, opportunity, and income potential. While the house needs some love, its bones and location make it a compelling project for the right buyer, and the property's potential income streams set it apart from anything else on the market. There are approximately 500 taps of sugar bush sitting behind the home, and the current local producer who is tapping the trees has expressed interest in continuing the arrangement, which allows for free maple syrup in exchange for use of the trees. It's great sign of stability for a buyer who wants to keep the operation running, or they could step into maple syrup production themselves. Trails wind through the property, perfect for hiking, snowmobiling, or simply enjoying the scenery. A solar farm lease currently operates on the property. The lease has roughly 12 years remaining, after which, there's a strong opportunity to renegotiate a new contract and increased monthly payments, which is an amazing long-term asset for an investment minded buyer. The home is already set up to function as two apartments (main floor and upstairs), with the layout allowing for a possible third unit, ideal for multi-generational living, rental income, or an owner-occupied duplex/triplex setup. The additional outbuildings & storage include a 2-car garage, one multi bay building with a truck garage at 16' x 27', woodshed/equipment bay at 20' x 27', and a side unit at 9' x 20', which has been used for firewood and furnace storage. This is a property for the buyer who wants more than just a house, such as a working landscape with future income, flexible living arrangements, and room to make it their own. Act fast as this property won't last long.
