The house is surrounded by a food forest containing approx. 100 different varieties of perennial plants and trees- some varieties are solo plants while others number 20 or more. It was all designed using permaculture principles with the intent that once established, it requires minimal effort to maintain so you can concentrate on harvesting. There are also areas for annual gardens for tomatoes and the like. The ‘compound’- what I call the area with the critters- has multiple pens and coops to house animals ranging from quail and rabbits to goats and emus. There are also many edible and medicinal plants and trees scattered throughout the area. I have not used pesticides nor herbicides anywhere on the property so the ground is not poisoned. The house is a partially renovated 2/2 MH. Renovations include: a new kitchen with solid oak cabinets, new countertops and appliances, double pane insulated windows, new insulated doors, 6” insulation under all the floors, Jacuzzi tub in themaster bathroom, full size tub with enclosure in second bathroom covered front porch, large wrap around deck facing the lake, French doors leading to the deck, new water heater, plumbing and sewer lines and air conditioners and more. The house also features vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, and a separate laundry room. Some paint and trim is all that is needed to complete the transformation. Two years ago a new inline jet pump was installed in the well and a new leach field was dug for the septic. Taxes are less than $350/year. Electric averages $100/month. About half the property remains natural so you can escape to the woods in your own backyard.
