Originally the Padham homestead, this fully restored 1900 farmhouse blends historic character with exceptional modern upgrades. Southeast-facing windows fill the home with natural light, highlighting restored wood floors, detailed millwork, and craftsmanship rarely found today. The kitchen features handcrafted custom cabinetry, carefully selected finishes, and a propane range that balances warmth and performance. Extensive improvements include updated electrical with new panel, new plumbing, high-efficiency mini-split heating and cooling, propane service, a commercial-grade high-capacity water heater, renovated bathrooms, and an integrated sauna. A new 5-bedroom septic system offers flexibility, including potential ADU use. The property is well-equipped for rural living with a 50x20 barn with concrete floor, 2-car shop/garage, well house with storage, ample parking, seasonal creek, and open usable grounds. The setting, historic architecture, and gathering spaces also create potential for vacation rental, retreat, or small event/wedding venue use. A rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully restored farmhouse with land, outbuildings, and modern infrastructure in the peaceful Lincoln Creek Valley. Some photos virtually staged.
