Rare opportunity to own a 100-AC piece of Northumberland County history, or severance to a 14AC farm with house, barn, pond, garden is also possible. Set among rolling hills just of S of Trent River, this distinctive farmstead combines 1861 red-brick farmhouse, fieldstone-foundation bank barn, spring-fed pond, productive fields, woodland & natural habitat. Home to Wholearth Farmstudio since 2004, land has been farmed without synthetic inputs.
Heritage livestock, organic growing, stewardship & community have shaped its story. Has supported horses, sheep, heirloom crops, vegetables, flowers and bees. The farmhouse retains its historic character and has a new propane furnace, but requires renovation, including roof, windows, insulation.
Full basement includes a smooth concrete floor with 6ft headroom and upgraded 100A service panel. The substantial bank barn is in good condition, with hydro & water, and suits livestock, storage or a workshop. A shed, breezeway, paddock and greenhouse complete the 6-AC homestead.

Also includes 29 acres of cedar and mixed bush, a creek, 3 acres of restored wetland, and environmentally sensitive habitat for over 85 bird species. The spring-fed pond is a potential irrigation source.
