the land
It is this plentiful landscape that has provided both the inspiration and foundation for creating a unique home.
Everything that has been established here, the buildings, trees, crops and infrastructure, has been set out and rooted by taking notice of what this particular land has to offer.
33 acres of prime soil & diverse terrain
security of sustainable abundance
the soil here is truly awe inspiring
Everything that has been planted and nurtured in the past 15 years has exceeded expectations and indicates a thriving microbiology. The organic & permaculture practices used in establishing this home and farm have aimed to enhance the already flourishing ecosystems.
organic & permaculture practices
Through learning about organic farming practices, the current owner started to see themself more in the role of caretaker.
There has been zero industrial chemical usage since 2009. The property was certified organic in 2011 by NOFA-NY (certification currently lapsed, but ethics & methods continue). When introduced to the principles of permaculture, the shift towards ecological stewardship settled well into the management of this land.
It has been an evolving education ever since.
renewable power
The 10 kW Bergey wind turbine generates significant electrical power to reduce energy cost. Plans for solar PV installation on south facing barn roof still offers further energy efficiency.
trees ~ maturity, diversity & growth
A key natural asset of this property lays within the realm of trees. The existing woodland as well as the hundreds of trees planted here over the years have been central to the awe and inspiration to work with this land. There are 200+ year old white oaks that command fascination and there are also 7 year old nut trees planted here that astound visiting arborist.
The diversity of tree species here is a source of pride.
wilderness & privacy
Lastly, the bottom woods and creek never fail to make you feel lucky to live here. In the spring you can hear the salmon and trout splashing about in the water below the house, as they return every year to spawn. Having your own water source holds much value.
Even though this is private land, the current owner allows fishing on the creek - the fishermen are invariably a respectful and benign presence. No deer hunting has been permitted however.
permaculture food forrest
wild nature at its best
