This 15 acre, 4000ft2 limestone home can be just a wonderful home – or utilize it for a home business. One room is 73′ long, heated and sshiny, with a full dry basement der it. 2 full baths, 2 half baths (all new), 2 – 200amp electric entrances, 2 -1000g septics. There is an amazing water supply from developed springs or an excellent drilled well. Parking for 50 cars

Here are ideas:
Potential Commercial Uses (Note that many uses would require a zoning variance. Our expectation is that this would be willingly granted, but that it would add a month to the closing.) Think: 2 1000g septics , 2 – 200amp entrances, amazing water supply, parking for 50 cars, 20×80’ clear-span space with windows and views on all sides, huge dry walk-out basement, 2400ft2 pole barn, scenic area, pond with huge trout, commercial potential in kitchen (12’ hood w/fire-suppressant, SS sinks, grease traps, 19 110 and 220 outlets, bright recessed lighting)… Here are some ideas to get you thinking.
Restaurant – this is what it was originally used for, along with a bar (nearby snowmobile trails). The kitchen is wired and partly equipped for such a purpose. Required UV filters and grease trap are in place. There is ample parking for this or any other enterprise. When operating, it seated 112, served 250 meals per 18hr. week + another 700 for Meals on Wheels. Some of the chairs and tables but receptionist’s space, and the ice & water sink are still here.
CSA (Commity Sponsored Agriculture) – The land is high quality and will support excellent yields on any crop the climate will support. Virtually nothing is so steep that erosion would become a worry. The current dining area could be used for packaging and display and the pole barn for machinery storage.
Fitness or Martial Arts Center – the dining room is clear span and would adapt easily to such a use. The bright interior with its views over the cotryside would be enjoyed by customers.
Trailer Park – this would require greater infrastructure enhancements than other potential uses, but would bring a larger gain and a regular income. The land would work for this use, though not in every inch, and there is more than ample space for access roads. The dining area would be larger than needed for office and administrative space. And the pole barn could house snow plows and other maintenance equipment.
Small farm – you have enough land for small agriculture, either for high value crops or small or large livestock. The pole barn can house either animals and/or machinery.
B&B – additional baths or bedrooms could be easily added to the current dining space. Or reverse things, and use the stone portion only for a B&B and convert the dining space into a 1600ft2 owner’s quarters. It is 15’ drive to I 90.
Water Bottling – huge flow from partly developed springs right next to the buildings, commercial UV filtration in place, plus an excellent drilled well. Outstanding tasting water, ample space for support equipment and storage (between the dining and basement spaces).
Wedding Venue/Event Space – the dining area would serve all for this and the potential commercial kitchen ties right in. The pole barn or basement would serve for storage and support space.
Sports Camp – flat fields for soccer, football, field hockey, 2 basketball half courts inside the pole barn, space for tennis courts. Turn the dining area into multiple bkrooms and add showers. Re-equip the kitchen and retain a section for dining.
Office Space – as it is clear-span, you can easily configure the dining area any way that suits you best. Insurance, attorney, real estate, small business, quilt shop, accotants, financial consultants, surveyor, beauty parlour … – anything that does not require lots of drive-by traffic and/or high visibility.

Cotry Inn – basically the same requirements as a B&B but with greater reliance upon a commercial kitchen space.
Campgrod or Glamping – the cotryside is attractive, the pond affords quality fishing. Some investment in gravel roads and additional shade tree plantings would be needed. The dining hall could convert to office, commity bath and relaxation space. Add pool, ping pong and other games, movie viewing for kids…Potentially high returns for the investment.
Internet business – vast heated storage for whatever you have to sell here, through the dining area and the walk-out basement. Pole barn for cold storage. Superior phone connections and Time Warner internet.
Display Space for Photographers and Artists – the dining area is exceptionally accessible and well lit with natural light.
Fish Farm – we have the water you need and it’s cold enough for trout. Ponds and water movement pipes would need to be installed. Could also add pay-to-fish enterprise.
Church – the dining area served as the first Mennonite church in the area til they built their own in another location.
Music Venue – the topography creatures a natural amphitheater for warm weather music and the dining area, with a stage added, would work for colder weather. Level enough for huge tents. There is ample parking space.
Storage space – for cars, boats, recreational vehicles in the pole barn. It is far enough from the residence that people coming and going would not disturb you, yet close enough you can monitor what goes on. Lower income but no further investment of time or money.
Yoga or other retreat – bucolic cotry setting, access to I 90 within 15 minutes. Plenty of space for camping, men and women’s rest rooms, indoor recreational space.
Paintball Field – enough space, restrooms, parking, internet – what else would one need try get started?
