As you venture into this property, you're greeted by a harmonious blend of woodlands and the gentle murmur of a stream meandering along the parcel's edge. The land is a treasure trove of nature's bounty, boasting an array of berry bushes, nut trees, and fruit trees like apples, pears, plums, and cherries. Imagine cultivating your own garden amidst this natural abundance!

The potential for expansion is evident, with possibilities to add 3-4 bedrooms between the loft space and bonus studio rooms. A 1000-gallon septic tank and rainwater collection system underscore the property's self-sufficiency. A guest cabin, equipped with its own septic, offers additional accommodation options (requires plumbing).
