$600,000 - Exeter
Welcome to your New England retreat. A private permaculture homestead and food forest sanctuary. Tucked away at the end of a sweeping driveway, this 2,851 sq. ft. Cape Cod sits deeply set back from the road on a nearly 3-acre parcel, offering total, uncompromised privacy. The land is a true self-sustaining sanctuary, completely invisible to passersby, buffered by native tree lines, and bordered by a massive rear corn farm. Designed for immediate homestead living, the expansive cleared land is framed by historic New England fieldstone walls. It features a thriving food forest with an orchard of 40+ mature fruit and nut trees (walnut, chestnut, apple, peach, pear, cherry), established strawberry and blueberry patches, two blackberry varieties, and a rear melon patch. Agricultural infrastructure includes a fully fenced garden, a custom duck coop, and an excavated duck pond with an integrated pump/filtration system (active flock can convey). The exterior features a stone fire pit and a walk-out hardscaped patio. Both the patio and upper kitchen deck feature custom retractable awnings. Inside, the spacious home serves as the perfect anchor, boasting a cozy living room with a functional fireplace, a freshly painted 2-car garage with premium industrial epoxy floors, and a mostly finished walk-out basement with a custom bar and half-bath. Powered by a premium Buderus boiler and dual-well system. A must see!
