Need help envisioning what it would be like to live at this extraordinary property?

OPTION 1 – Buy farm and live in the farmhouse.

OPTION 2 – Buy farm and live in the farmhouse for now. Build a more modern structure on the farm and keep the farmhouse as an Airbnb or guest house. Property is zoned for bed and breakfast option as well as small retreats.

OPTION 3 – Buy farm and adjacent 7–acre property with workshop and resort style pool. This house has a more modern vibe. Update the primary bathroom by pushing the north wall of the primary bathroom out and expanding the closets while updating finishes. This option is probably under $200k with no interaction with the septic commission and the least expensive of options involving two homes and a pool.
