Set on just over three flat, usable acres in highly desirable Freshwater, this unique property offers a rare blend of natural beauty, thoughtful land stewardship, and opportunity. The 3-bedroom, 1-bath home was tastefully remodeled in 2024, providing a strong foundation for comfortable living with room to personalize.
A true gardener's oasis, the land has been carefully planned using companion planting techniques and features an impressive variety of established plantings, including blueberries, apple, cherry, peach, and pear trees, along with vibrant roses and hydrangeas. The property is rich with life, attracting abundant wildlife and creating a peaceful, nature-filled setting.
Water resources are exceptional, with community water service, frontage on Freshwater Creek, a seasonal pond, and an additional untapped well--offering versatility for gardening, recreation, or future use.
Located slightly inland from the coast, the property enjoys warmer, sunnier summers while still being close to the natural beauty of the North Coast. Situated within the highly sought-after Garfield School District, this location adds to the property's appeal.
Please note: the home experienced flooding during the most recent rainy season and will require interior repairs. This presents a valuable opportunity for buyers to bring their tools and vision to restore and customize the home to their liking.
