Welcome to a truly special, one-of-a-kind property that has been lovingly cared for and thoughtfully developed over decades. Spanning 20 acres of organic land (since the 1980s), this private retreat offers the perfect blend of natural beauty, functionality, and self-sustaining living. Explore over a mile of scenic walking trails winding through your own personal nature preserve and around the pond - an absolute paradise for birders, nature lovers, and anyone seeking peace and privacy. Located in the heart of Northwest Ohio's renowned bird migration corridor and within the Warbler Capital of the World, this property offers an incredible opportunity to experience bird migration right from your own backyard. Designed with homesteading in mind, the property is ready for you to step in and thrive, featuring over 18 varieties of trees, 22+ varieties of bushes and vines, and more than 30 herbs and perennials. On the west side of the land, a picturesque 3/4-acre stocked pond is complete with a brand-new deck and a cottage with a wood stove. Four aeration units, programmable on a timer, help maintain a healthy and vibrant ecosystem. Outbuildings are equally impressive, including a timber frame garage with a new metal roof and a large timber frame barn offering abundant storage. The barn is insulated on the east side, making it ideal for a workshop or year-round plant use. A thermostatically controlled greenhouse and hydrants placed throughout the property further enhance its usability and efficiency. Inside, the meticulously maintained three-bedroom home showcases original hardwood floors on the main floor and abundant storage. The basement includes an additional shower, adding extra convenience and flexibility. A back patio provides the perfect setting to relax or entertain while taking in the surrounding beauty. This is more than just a home - it's a lifestyle. A rare opportunity to own a fully established organic homestead and immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature.
