Country Home/Hobby Farm SW

Land Description

Motivated Sellers. Living close to the land often tugs at a person's heart. There is a hunger for more room, more space, more peace and quiet, and new opportunities. This country home/hobby farm might be just the answer. Here the combination of pasture and tillable land offers possibilities for raising animals or growing crops or organic vegetables. The beautifully flowing refreshing water of Seymour Creek is not only a water source for livestock, but a habitat for recreation & fishing. The sellers share that their family has caught large rainbow trout in this class B trout stream.

The Alliance windows, with a lifetime warranty, are approximately three-years old and along with the kitchen skylight, allow in plenty of natural light. The living room has a cedar-lined closet.

Some of the improvements made by the current owners include a mini-split heat pump for heating and cooling, a new roof after a complete tear-off approximately seven years ago, and a new well pump in 2011. The yard has been nurtured and cared for with the planting of fruit trees, berry bushes, raspberries, and gooseberries, asparagus, hazelnuts, lilacs, etc., etc. etc. There are two organic gardening areas and raised garden beds.
