Your Homestead Story Starts Here! Sip coffee on your front deck or beer by the BBQ out back. (The front deck is wood with railings and steps that descend to terraced garden beds and paved walkways.) Listen to birds chirp as you tend your secluded garden. Relax by the fire ring under the stars. Big rustic 1970 4+ bed home in the quiet village of Vernon on 8/10 acre. (Concrete driveway with two heavy‑duty canopy garages and ample paved parking; twin storage sheds are visible from the yard.) 1/2 acre of fruit, veggies and herbs. Renovated top to bottom, inside and out. 1 bath and 5 rooms upstairs, one small, one with a sink. (Upstairs includes a bright bedroom with a ceiling fan and large window, plus a small room with a built‑in sink that’s ideal as a potting/craft room.) Main floor is accessible with another bed/office/den and disability shower separate from washroom. (Main‑floor entry shows new laminate/tile flooring, fresh paint and a staircase with a nearby closet/utility door.) The raspberry lined ramp is nice even if you're not disabled. The huge yard has twin sheds, a heavy duty canopy garage and a cool dome greenhouse in front. (The dome greenhouse sits near the driveway and a dedicated potting/propagation area is adjacent; one photo shows the greenhouse and beds from the front yard perspective.) 5 min walk to recreation centre or conveniences. Grow Your Groceries! The perfect property for troubled times. You'll harvest apples, pears, plums, peaches, grapes and berries. You'll own umpteen ginormous raised bed boxes with veggies of all varieties at face level for easy picking. (There are 15 standing‑height grow boxes providing about 250 sq. ft. of growing area at comfortable waist level, plus numerous in‑ground beds and grape plantings.) A rare opportunity to reap harvests others have sown. Opportunities Abound! Your mini-homestead has the tools and supplies you'll need to take over. You'll be selling all sorts of seeds, plants, fruits, veggies etc. Make jams, relishes, sauces and so on. Create crafts. We even do workshops on edible weeds. The large unfinished basement is set up to start plants and to stock your stuff. (Basement access is from the updated entry; there’s generous space for seed starting, storage and workbenches.) You Can Do it! We love this property but we're not getting younger. It's work. It's been worth it but we're done. We hope to pass it on to folks who will take it to the next level. You don't have to invent it, just step into our system. Start harvesting as soon as you settle in. We'll show you what we have, where things are, what we do and how we do it. We'll commit to being here at your convenience while you move in to make sure things go smoothly for you. We'll answer your questions once we're gone. We care about this property and about you and we plan to be friends in the future. If you're looking for something like this, this is it. (id:1945)
