43 Acre USDA Organic Vegetable Farm for Sale

WELCOME TO YOUR ORGANIC FARM DREAM! Sitting on 43 acres of deep sandy loam perfect for agriculture, this is 1348 square foot, 3 bedroom 1.5 bath home is only twenty minutes from the coast of Lake Huron and a great local farmers market. Boasting over 150 fruit trees, a 150 foot double row of mature asparagus, 200 feet of lavender, 200 feet of mature herb beds, drainages on two sides, and spring fed pond, this property is set up for success. Of the 43 acres, approximately 20 are tillable and have drainage tiles installed- original maps from the conservation corps are still on the property. Ten of these acres are currently under a grass alfalfa mix for hay production. The northeast corner has a mature maple forest ready for tapping. Due to the surrounding drainages and forests, it would also make an excellent hunting property with resident deer and turkey populations. Let’s talk infrastructure: Located on the M-65 recreation corridor with an existing four walled farm stand for instant on property sales. There is a 32x14 foot cement floor heated greenhouse with its own designated propane boiler in the basement. The thousand gallon propane tank supplies both this greenhouse and the house. A 16x20 produce processing metal shed with attached second greenhouse (50x23 foot) for washing and packaging all your bounty. Spacious 35x50 pole barn has cement floors and is ready to house all your equipment needs. The two car garage also has cement floors, a half bath, and attic storage space. Other structures include a 30x32 foot amish built cement barn complete with two stalls, a feed room, and milking stanchions. Outside there are three additional pens and loafing sheds (each 14x14) for livestock with a dedicated GFCI outlet and breaker box for tank heaters. Not to mention the established pasture space behind one of the orchards. Two wells exist on site, one 40 foot well for the house and a 400 foot agricultural well (agriculture well needs a new well pump but has its own electric breaker). There is an additional mini pump house with its own breaker by the pond for irrigation pumps. Stepping inside the house you are greeted by a large dining room with a big window overlooking what was once the three acres of dedicated organic intensive market garden, a kitchen with tiled floors, three bedrooms, full bath, living room, and full cement basement with a workshop room. House water softening and RO was installed completely new in 2020. Property was certified USDA organic for four years. While the certification has gone dormant, the paperwork has been maintained to instantly recertify. Must provide pre-approval letter from a financial institution prior to showing.
