About this home
Own a piece of history with this nearly 5 acre estate. Formerly part of the legendary 80 acre Olson Dairy Farm, its agricultural soul has been preserved with an original silo, classic barn, and stable standing proud on the land. With both a producing orchard and pasture on the back half plus a fully independent attached ADU, this is the kind of property that should stop you mid scroll.The main home welcomes you with fresh exterior paint and gorgeous new French doors, but the true showstopper is the 1,700 sq ft attached ADU downstairs complete with its own one car garage and separate laundry. Multigenerational living has never been this seamless, this private, or this functional. Or as a long term rental income, this ADU delivers in a big way.Outside, a producing orchard anchors the front of the property while the back half opens into wide open pasture perfectly suited for horses, with the barn and stable already in place and ready to go. The infrastructure is here and waiting for your vision.Few properties offer this rare combination of history, flexibility, and flat out livability. Whether you are drawn to the equestrian lifestyle, craving space for extended living, or simply want land with a story worth telling, this home is where you can author your next chapter.
