Discover the rustic charm of this 3-bedroom, 1-bath farmhouse nestled on a sprawling 5-acre parcel, an enchanting haven for nature and gardening enthusiasts. This unique property boasts a rich tapestry of biodiversity, featuring over 75 varieties of herbs, four types of mushrooms, and an impressive assortment of 23 tree species. The extensive orchard includes over 200 trees with a delightful mix of apples, pears, peaches, plums, apricots, cherries, and grapevines. Sustainability is at the heart of this estate, with a 2500-gallon cistern harvesting rainwater from the barn roof, filtered to supply the home, and gray water systems repurposing sink and tub water for irrigation. A substantial 300,000-gallon clay-lined pond, maintained through a dedicated rainwater drain, adds to the property's self-sufficiency. The residence itself has been recently updated, featuring new siding and insulation just a year ago. The property's agricultural allure is complemented by raised beds for garlic, strawberries, mulberries, and asparagus. The large barn, recently roofed, includes horse stalls and a spacious loft, leading out to a fenced pasture ideal for horses. Free woodchips from Asplundh Corp. are a bonus for maintaining the lush, extensive grounds. This property is not just a home but a lifestyle, offering a unique blend of pastoral living with eco-friendly innovations.
