The garden is currently yielding squash and lettuce, with tomatoes, corn, peas, and cabbage on the way. All planted areas are irrigated, and additional chestnut and walnut trees further enhance the property's agricultural charm. The existing structures include a functional office space and storage areas, suitable for immediate use or future redevelopment. A detached garage, barn, and outbuilding provide flexible options and impressive upside potential. Schedule a time to walk the property and come see this very special piece of land and home!
