Description
Discover this beautiful working farm offering picturesque views and a sustainable income. The 5-bedroom country home, situated at a high elevation, provides breathtaking views from the living room's picture window. An expansive garden and orchard encompass the home, providing both beauty and an abundance of produce.
The garden includes a variety of vegetables such as potatoes, cabbage, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, asparagus, and more. The orchard features multiple fruit trees, including peach, pear, plum, cherry, apricot, and 16 apple trees with 10 different varieties. Additionally, there is a large strawberry patch with 750 plants, producing over 1,200 quarts in the 2024 season. Rows of blackberry, red raspberry, and blueberry bushes add to the farm's bounty.
Livestock facilities are well-equipped for cattle and horses, including a 34' x 40' milk barn and a cattle working corral with a scale in the alley. A large, fully stocked pond featuring two aerators and a dock enhances the property's appeal and offers recreational activities such as swimming and fishing.
Egg production is a key component of the farm, with a 24' x 42' insulated egg production room and cooler with loading docks. The 18' x 460' chicken house accommodates over 5,400 free-range birds that transition daily to the grass and pasture land. The farm also includes a grinding and mixing operation for local feed delivery, supported by multiple grain bins and a large truck scale installed in 2020. A 30-kilowatt, 3-phase backup generator ensures continuous electricity supply to the farm during any power outage.
Spanning approximately 78 acres, the farm is well-fenced for livestock, with FSA showing 39.51 cropland acres. The property also offers great hunting opportunities.
This farm is a rare find, combining beauty, functionality, and sustainability in one remarkable package. I have not seen a farm so well-equipped for self-sustainability during my entire real estate career.
