The un-landscaped area is in its native state but trees can be removed and gardens established. There is an existing small vegetable garden and some established rhubarb.
Description and historical use of land available for farming
The established business is the restaurant and accommodations that has been in operation for about 15 years.
There are 4 beautiful single room chalets and a four bedroom house that are for the rental business. There is a five bedroom home for the leaseholder to live in. (Or whichever accommodation suits best).
The restaurant, playground, landscaped areas and ponds are extensive and very beautiful. It has typically been operated seasonally but has much potential for year round production.
