This is a property designed for more than just everyday living. Set on a semi-secluded estate, it offers an exceptional combination of multi-generational flexibility, a separate guest house, extensive established landscaping, and a thoughtfully developed sustainable environment.

🏠 SEPARATE GUEST HOUSE

🌱 A SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPE, ALREADY ESTABLISHED
Over the past five years, the sellers worked with a licensed builder and permaculturist to implement a comprehensive sustainability plan focused on water management, food production, and long-term land stewardship.
The property includes:
• Hugel swales and mounds

• 9 black locust trees
• Lavender and hydrangea-lined driveway

The beauty of this property is in its versatility. It can accommodate extended family, guests, work-from-home needs, potential rental income, gardening, homesteading, and a more self-sufficient lifestyle — all while offering the space and comfort of a substantial private estate.
