There is also a 70 x 30 outbuilding which could acommodate just about anything you want from extra living area or shop or both. Call me for your private viewing of this beautiful property.
PET TIP: In the cold wet weather your animals need all the basics such as a dry and hopefully warm place to be comfortable. Clean unfrozen water because eating snow is not sufficient. Extra food because in the cold any animal burns up an enormous amount of calories in trying to stay warm. Stock animals need shelter as well to dry out their feet and coats. A wet coat loses its insulating qualities. It would be like wearing a wet wool sweater and going outside. It’s extra work in this weather but your efforts will be appreciated by all concerned
