Description

Escape the noise of the modern world and step into a thriving homestead paradise where self-sufficiency, abundance, and natural beauty come together on nearly 5 acres of fertile land. This one-of-a-kind permaculture retreat has been lovingly designed for those who dream of living closer to the earth, growing their own food, and creating a life of freedom and independence. At the heart of the property sits a thoughtfully built, energy-efficient 2-bedroom home constructed to stand the test of time with fiber cement siding, radiant floor heat, Pella windows, and insulation above code standards. Warm reclaimed wood accents, rustic southern yellow pine floors, custom built-in storage, and sun-filled south-facing dormers create a cozy sanctuary that feels both timeless and welcoming. Step outside and discover a homesteader's dream already in full production. More than 7,000 square feet of organically enriched garden space, a massive 14x60 greenhouse, multiple fenced growing areas, and a wide variety of established perennial food crops provide the foundation for a truly sustainable lifestyle. Harvest fresh fruits from mature figs, peaches, apples, persimmons, pomegranates, cold-hardy citrus, kiwi, grapes, muscadines, elderberries, blackberries, and passionfruit growing throughout the property. Relax beneath a passionfruit-covered pergola overlooking lush gardens and a stocked pond filled with bluegill and catfish. Wander through the enchanting elderberry archway to additional garden space, or spend your mornings gathering eggs from the chicken coop, tending bees in the top-bar hive, cultivating gourmet shiitake mushrooms, or caring for ducks and other farm animals of your choice, that can be safely enclosed within three acres of secure fencing. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to support a productive and rewarding homestead lifestyle, including a vegetable washing station, storage sheds, RV hookup, grape trellises, greenhouse infrastructure, and countless opportunities for expansion. Whether your vision includes a market garden business, hobby farming, food forest development, or simply living a more intentional and connected life, this property is ready to make that dream a reality. Imagine waking each morning to birdsong instead of traffic, harvesting dinner from your own gardens, fishing in your own pond, and watching the seasons unfold across your private sanctuary. Opportunities like this are rare--a fully established homestead where years of work have already been done for you. All that's left is to move in, put down roots, and begin living the life you've always imagined.
