This property was never listed on the open market. This property is comprised of an over 3,500 sf single story home with a 1,056 sf attached garage, and over 2,300 sf of basement finish on 48.15 acres in Alpine Township.

Due to the 2023 Full Tribunal appeal (MTT 23-003074), I was allowed to inspect this property by the owners in November 2023.
