Legacy farm available in the gorgeous and wild Butler Valley, Humboldt County. A lot has changed over the years for Humboldt farmers and some properties are left with greenhouse plastic flapping in the wind and not much else going for them. This is not one of those properties. A paved drive of 45 minutes from the coast will bring you to the front gate of this property. Spanning 3 parcels, this 116 acre wilderness retreat has an abundance of water with extensive Mad River frontage and Maple Creek running through the property with its own ''fern canyon'' and private swimming hole. The 3 bedroom 3 bathroom home is very nicely appointed with high end finishes and wrap around decks. Close to the house there are fenced areas for gardening and farm animals, a shop with a second story that could be developed into a Mother-in-Law unit, a treehouse platform, RV parking, and lots of flat areas for toys and equipment. Up the hill there is a large pond, two wells, a 5000 square foot greenhouse for mixed light production, and 10,000 square feet of outdoor cultivation space. PG&E power on site. Several outbuildings are available for additional storage or farm use. This homestead includes a diverse fruit tree orchard, an edible herb garden, a dirt bike track, and a sublime north coast wilderness vibe. Possibilities are endless for the future of this well cared for property. Bring your city stress and let it melt away in one of Humboldt County's premier legacy farms. County and State permits available for the savvy investor who wants to continue to grow.
