Property Description

Gorgeous shy 5 acres w/ a fixer—or start over. Close to town, easy I-5 access. 30'x60' shop, green house, cabins, private well & septic. Rolling, wooded, some cleared. Very private. The 2 bed, 3/4 bath, 1,500 sq ft home that sits on a secluded hill overlooking the land needs TLC. Restore it? Build new w/ a daylight basement? Where else will you find serviced acreage at this price?The BackStoryPennsylvania woodsman, circus-caravan traveler, farrier, blacksmith, master leatherworker, Malcolm Timbers, already in his seventies, bought this property w/ an inheritance from his mother. He lived like a pioneer, slept in cabins he built on the property, or in his van. He worked the land the old way: hand-dug drainage, swales & ponds, terraformed the south half w/ a spade, cleared alder for a cherry orchard, milled lumber, built rustic furniture, crushed granite slabs for drainage. He lifted the entire shop on steel posts so a second story could be added.Under the overgrowth, the permaculture is still alive. Cherries throughout, three apple trees, grapes, wild and golden raspberries, volunteer kale and rhubarb. Two ponds with ducks, geese, herons, owls, most days late spring through fall. Goldfinches in the enormous Pacific willow. Greenhouse with hugelkultur beds that overflowed fresh vegetables. A magical 8-foot fire ring entrances the back meadow.Loved ground, Not conventionally financeable—25% down land loan or cash? Buyer to verify well, septic, & potential building or uses.
