Seller will consider selling many of the power tools. If interested in a specific item, please ask. - Detached pottery/art studio has water, electricity, and is heated and cooled. It would also make an excellent pool house, if one wanted to put in an in-ground pool (there is plenty of space between there and the shore). - Sellers have a full set of plans (architectural and engineer drawings), construction estimates, and permits in hand to build a detached 900 sq. ft., 2 bedroom, 1 bath guest cottage, which would bring the property to a total of 3,894 sq. ft., 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths with the potential for a 6th bedroom if the FROG is converted into a bedroom (would not be difficult to add a full bath in the FROG either). The full set of cottage plans are available for purchase. The cottage would make a great addition to the property if used as a Bed & Breakfast, event venue, or even just to give your guests ultimate privacy.
