Acreage description

1.5 acres for agricultural use, offered for the first time. Currently wooded but willing to work with the right farmer(s) to adapt the property. Current lush growth signals strong soil fertility. The land slopes to a natural swale running through the center, which keeps a large area watered naturally - it doesn’t pool water like a pond or creek, but is low enough to collect and hold water in the soil. Private drive access follows the long edge of the property. Water & electric available.

Agricultural buildings allowed - Greenhouse or nursery possible. 

Farmstand by the roadside is allowed per city ordinance.

Ideally suited to fruit trees, Christmas trees, blueberries, grapes, etc. but other agricultural uses possible too. Potential food forest. (Per zoning, not a place to farm animals, however).

Description of the property’s current condition, current use(s), and past use(s)

Lightly wooded with some large established trees. Let's adapt it for growing food.
