Narrow Trail Farm is perfect for those looking for space yet still close to all the amenities of the city. This 2016 farm has impressive passive solar design and self-sustaining infrastructure with all the amenities of a modern farm. Previously operated an organic flower, vegetable, fruit and honey farm with beautiful gardens and veggie beds supported by 3 outbuildings.

As you enter the driveway you are greeted by the diverse orchard of producing apple, pear, peach, plum and nectarine (no cherry trees) trees as well as blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. The other side is a flower lined fencing of the front pasture. Thousands of flower bulbs and peonies are planted next to the orchard for stunning flowers throughout the growing season.

Seller owned Solar panels help to power the farm and provide low energy costs. Monthly average is under $150!

The contemporary home is thoughtfully designed with soaring ceilings and interesting design that utilizes every inch. This is not your cookie cutter home but a retreat in the country. The 1297 sq ft home provides 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Walk into the open kitchen-dining-family room with huge windows and sliding doors opening out to the wrap around patio. The chef's kitchen offers abundant counter space and a floor to ceiling bank of built-in cabinets. Everyone will enjoy the wood burning stove in the great room that also has as an oven great for pizza! The primary suite offers a walk-in closet, that is also a safe room, and ensuite bath. Enjoy the outdoor space including the huge covered patio perfect for enjoying evening meals watching the sun set over the farm. There is a large storm shelter just off the patio for that additional safety during storms. Design plans are available for an addition to complete the 'butterfly' concept of the architectural design.
