About this home
This estate sale is a rare live/work property on five wooded acres in Zimmerman. At its heart: a heated ~4,800 sq ft shop built by a cabinet maker — two connected bays with 3-phase capability (via on-site converter), geothermal + radiant heat, a built-in 80-gallon air compressor, an office, a bath on its own compliant septic, heavy-duty pallet racking, and its own electric meter. Zoned General Rural and run as a cabinet business for years, so a home-based trade is proven here (buyer to confirm intended use with the county). The home is a split-entry 4-bedroom, 2-bath with warm oak cabinetry, a finished lower level, two fireplaces, and an oversized 3-car heated garage. A separate ~480 sq ft suite — its own entrance, kitchen, bath, laundry, in-floor heat, and indoor parking — rents (~$1,000/mo) or houses family. Peace of mind is documented: a new engineered septic, county-verified compliant (2026), plus a private well and a steel roof (2022). And because the shop is attached to the home, the whole property can be financed on one 30-year home loan — a structural advantage no bare lot offers. Owning this can cost less than building the equivalent from scratch. Adjoining acreage may be available separately by private arrangement.

How SODL buyer credits work
When you buy with SODL, the brokerage charges a flat $3,000 platform fee at closing. The remaining buyer-side commission (typically 3% of the purchase price) is credited directly back to you at closing, reducing the cash you bring to the table.
- Tour homes with SODL’s flexible showing network
- Submit offers and manage your transaction through the platform
- Keep more money at closing through transparent flat-fee pricing
A clear, modern way to buy with expert guidance and meaningful savings.
