This 39-acre estate blends rural tranquility with a well-established, turnkey business once home to the renowned DIA Bark Away, a top-rated dog boarding and grooming facility praised for its exceptional care and loyal clientele. The property features two custom-built kennel outbuildings thoughtfully designed for professional dog care, including heated interiors, secure indoor/outdoor runs, grooming stations, wash bays, and ample storage.
