Property Description

Here's an extraordinary opportunity to own Bending Oak, a 23-acre permaculture farm, meticulously designed to foster a harmonious relationship between nature and sustainable living. At the heart of this enchanting property is a 1,200 square foot barn constructed from 20-foot recycled shipping containers, serving as a central hub for all farm activities. There is also a picturesque half-acre stocked pond with a fully-functioning ecosystem and an additional 0.10-acre stocked pond. With a solar-powered gravity-fed irrigation system and rainwater-harvesting cisterns, this farm exemplifies eco-friendly practices, ensuring every drop of water is used efficiently for cooking, showering and irrigation. This property is not just a farm; it's a lifestyle. Four charming tiny houses and 15 campsites invite visitors to immerse themselves in the tranquil beauty of the land, offering unforgettable overnight stays that connect them with nature. A shower house offers 2 showers, 2 sinks and 2 composting toilets, guaranteeing a comfortable stay. Fruit, nut and berry orchards, as well as an annual garden and a hoop house, are already established. Also growing on the farm is an experimental rice paddy, cranberry patch, gingko, ginseng and a variety of other unique plantings. An additional cabin serves as an educational center, perfect for workshops and community gatherings focused on sustainable practices. With over a decade of dedicated work already established, the new owner has the chance to continue this legacy as an agritourism business, a homestead, or to reimagine the property for new ventures. Whether you're looking to cultivate your green thumb or own a fantastic rural retreat where you can fish, ride, explore and unwind with your friends and family, this is it!
