About this home
MULTI-GENERATIONAL LIVING ON A SUSTAINABLE ESTATE Experience rare flexibility and self-sufficiency on this semi-secluded estate designed for multi-generational living or extended family living. The property features a spacious main residence plus a separate building (full remodel 2026). MAIN RESIDENCE: SPACE, COMFORT, AND VERSATILITY The 5,000+ square foot main home offers 7 bedrooms (with possible 8th), 5 bathrooms, multiple living and family rooms, a home spa, and versatile bonus spaces to suit a range of lifestyles. Room for everyone, with space to gather, work, relax, and entertain without feeling crowded. GUEST BUILDING/POTENTIAL ADU: INDEPENDENCE AND INCOME POTENTIAL The detached building provides privacy and functionality for in-laws or visiting family. Its separation from the main home makes it an excellent candidate for long-term use or a dedicated home office or studio. A 5-YEAR SUSTAINABILITY PLAN, BUILT WITH EXPERTS Working alongside a licensed builder and permaculturist, the sellers implemented a comprehensive 5-year sustainability plan that blends practical homesteading features with beautiful, low-maintenance landscaping. Key features include: • WATER-WISE DESIGN: Hugel swales and mounds, rain catchment systems, and a rain garden work together to capture, slow, and sink water into the landscape—reducing runoff and nourishing plantings. • PRODUCTIVE GARDENS: Hoop house, raised beds, prepared annual garden area, and a large 3-bin compost system support year-round growing. • FOOD FOREST & ORCHARD: Diverse plantings of apple, plumcot, hazelnut, Chinese chestnut, goji berries, and elderberry trees, plus grape vines and mixed berry bushes (golden raspberry, red raspberry, blackberry, jostaberry, honeyberry). • ESTABLISHED PERENNIAL PLANTINGS: 50+ blueberry bushes; over 150 additional plants, herbs, berries, and flowers (including sheep sorrel, witch hazel, valerian, marshmallow, wormwood, black cohosh, goldenseal, St. John's wort); ornamental shrubs such as rhododendrons, hydrangeas, nannyberries, service berries, and weeping willows. • HOMESTEAD-READY: Planned spaces for a chicken coop, chicken run, and goat run make it easy to add small livestock. • THOUGHTFUL LANDSCAPING: 9 black locust trees, lavender- and hydrangea-lined driveway, burning bushes behind the hydrangeas, and paths designed around the property to improve water flow and reduce erosion. • PRIVATE WATER FEATURE: A 25' x 15' koi pond with 10+ koi adds serenity and visual interest. This estate is ideal for buyers seeking space for extended family, a potential rental unit, and a turnkey sustainable property with established food-producing landscapes and room to expand....
