This is a SPECIAL place! If you've been looking for a way to become self sustainable, look no further than this small scale permaculture farm. As soon as the Winter weather goes away, this place will come ALIVE! The land has not been sprayed in at least 6+ years. The amount and variety of produce on this land is astonoshing! The pastures have been rotationally grazed for the last 5 years and there is new perimeter fencing and a paddock system in place. The rows are separated with growing shade trees. When the Winter comes, the bank barn provides a place to get animals out of the elements. There are hundreds of perrenials, herbs, fruit and nut trees! The three large low till gardens next to the house are ready to produce this year. They're filled with asparagus, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and much more! A three season water way that runs between the house and barn provides a great habitat for a flock of ducks or geese. The 4- bedroom farm house is comfortable and efficient! You can heat with the newer wood-stove or use electric heat. The metal roof was replaced last year, and the entire house has been remodeled within the last 10 years. The exposed barn beams around the windows on the first floor are a charming added touch! There is one other additional well, septic and electrical hookup on the property.
