Mennonite-Built Homestead with Barndominium/Sports Court/Commercial/Industrial/Barn/Workshop Possibilities on 3.82 Acres. Have you been dreaming of slowing down, simplifying, and living a lifestyle rooted in family and self-sufficiency, producing your own food? If you say yes, this authentic Mennonite homestead may offer everything you are longing for - even a cool dumbwaiter! Built in 2022, the spacious 2888 sq. ft 5+ bedroom home was designed for multi-generational living, community gatherings, and purposeful work. With main and summer kitchen spaces, oversized rooms, steel roofing and siding, and full basement, this home is built for durability, adaptability, and long-term living. Electricity, drilled well, and septic system could be added at any time - or continue the beautifully simple, low-cost lifestyle the home was built for. A large cistern and grey-water system are already in place. The property includes a 72x40 barn and buggy/equipment drive shed, perfect for animals, equipment, storage, and self-sustaining farmers and gardeners. The crown jewel is
a massive commercial-grade workshop, built on huge 50x60 concrete slab with 18 foot clear-span walls, steel hoist beams, and oversized doors. Whether you are a tradesperson, fabricator, woodworker, welder, mechanic, or entrepreneur, this building offers industrial capability without industrial overhead. Could be used/developed into an event/church space, farm store, kids play centre hay loft, boarding stable, educational centre, warehousing, contractor workshop, automotive shop, indoor basketball court, artisan or food manufacturing, high bay flex industrial, self-storage facility, Boat/RV Storage, or for multi-generational off-grid living. 3 phase power is available at the road for small industrial, manufacturers, or cabinet maker needs. Only 30 minutes from Sault Ste. Marie in the middle of Mennonite Country, just bring your family, your
skills, your tools, your animals - and your dreams. This is a property you will want to see in person to fully imagine all it could be! Purchase price is $58.55 per sq. ft of above ground built space, a fraction of today's cost to rebuild these structures. The house could be converted easily into your business/staff offices. Seller may also consider leasing the buildings with option to buy, bring us your ideas!
