Water sources details

Water flows at ~5 gal/minute, When we irrigated 10 acres of hemp, we would fill two 3000-gallon tanks and then pump irrigate from those. We never ran out of water, and we are not in a flood zone.

Barns, sheds or other structures

Significant portion of old hayloft outfitted with drying racks. Two large freezers, two insulated workshops. Lots of space for indoor storage of farm equipment.

Tenure Arrangement

Tenure arrangement

  • Property for lease

Other tenure arrangement

I would be very willing, after a trial period, to consider a very long-term lease, and would be very willing to develop contracts, especially if farmer makes significant investments. At this point, I am not able to consider lease-to-own.

Additional Information

Opportunity for all ideas! Crop, hay and fenced grazing land, huge barn with chicken coop and stalls, forest, apple orchard, 50 x 14' tunnel, four-bedroom, two-bath shared house

In short, I am single and in my mid 50s, with two teenage sons, one of whom recently moved to Australia and the other planning to move in late 2027. I wore myself out trying to keep things going on my own and found that I just can't but I really don't want this amazing resource to go to waste. I will probably move overseas in 2028 but I'm not sure, which is why I would need the agreement to include sharing the house. However, essentially your own 4-bd, 2-ba house is available, as long as you are willing to occasionally share the kitchen with me. Even though I'd be "on-site", I don't want anything to do with the farming; I would be entirely hands-off on that aspect.
