Currently home to East Friesian dairy sheep, chickens, guineas and geese, this land has been meticulously planned for sustainable, small-scale agriculture. From the box-wire fenced pastures reinforced with solar electric fencing to protect the animals to multiple purpose-built outbuildings including a sheep barn with milking stanchions, brooder, chicken pen, guinea pen and three sheds, this mountain oasis supports daily farm operations with ease.

Homes and land in this historic area are much sought after and owning a property such as this with the ability to become self sufficient and thrive is a dream come true. Private hiking trails wind through the property along 2 streams, 3 natural springs & a noisy waterfall. Above it all, a beautifully landscaped garden bursts with flowers, vegetables & herbs. Mature pear trees, grapevines, asparagus beds, & blueberry bushes round out the yearly bounty. From the hilltop, enjoy the campfire under a sky filled with stars & listen to the crickets chirp.
