Elderslie Twp, Ontario
Well kept country church sitting on a high, dry lot of over 1/2 an acre on the west edge of Dobbinton. Last service will be June 30th, 2024 and this lovely old building will be looking for a new purpose. In speaking with the CBO of the Municipality, it does not appear a switch to residential zoning will be an issue at all. Buyer welcome to confirm this. Looks like a very good drilled well with the casing well above ground level. We think the septic will be a small system and may need an upgrade for residential use. The basement sits nicely up out of the ground making it bright and cheery. Much like a raised bungalow, upon entering a very spacious entry area a few steps takes you either up or down. At this price point you can do the upgrades to residential and have a one of a kind heritage home in the country on a 1/2 acre lot at an affordable price for you and your family to enjoy for many years to come. The property is subject to an unregistered easement along the west side (see tracks) for the farmer to the south to allow him access to his property on a seasonal basis. (id:22681)
