The main house was intended to be used as a share house or summer retreat, while the garage was being prepared for lodging use. The garage can function independently, allowing for a live-in manager. A plan was also considered to use the garage as a lodging facility and offer one room in the main house as a share house. The property can be used either as a primary residence or as a business property. It is currently used once or twice a month for airing out the rooms and is ready for immediate use.
