2 Beds ⋅ 1 Baths ⋅ 544403 MLS
Built in 1914 along the Weiser River Valley's old wagon-and-rail corridor, this property was originally home to Fruitvale's post office and general store, in operation until the late 1980s. The building was expanded in stages over the following decades: a living room, bathroom, and two bedrooms were added in the 1930s, followed by a kitchen and pantry in the 1960s. Today the storefront, living room, bedrooms, kitchen, and pantry are all connected under one roof, giving the home a layout with real depth and history behind it. The home offers two bedrooms and one bathroom across just over 2,000 square feet, situated on .86 acres. The property has its own well, along with two shares of irrigation water from the Robertson CV Ditch, carrying old, established water rights. Two pellet stoves provide the primary heat, one for the store side of the building and one for the living quarters. The grounds include established pear, grape, and apple trees, a fenced yard, a well-built chicken coop with a fenced animal area, a loafing shed, and a small greenhouse. A detached garage with an automatic door and a separate bunkhouse round out the property — the bunkhouse was recently and completely rebuilt, taken down to the studs, reinsulated, and finished with a new floor, walls, and ceiling, a mini-split heating and cooling system, new windows, doors, roof, and its own dedicated power supply.
