Build a life you don't need a vacation from with this charming old farmhouse! Nestled in the serene community of Nimshew, this stunning homestead offers the perfect balance of rural mountain living while still being just minutes from shopping and amenities. As you arrive at the gated property, you'll be captivated by the vibrant fall-colored trees surrounding the inviting country wraparound porch. The mature landscaping, koi pond stocked with over 30 fish, and multiple smaller ponds create a peaceful retreat right in your own backyard. This property is truly a gardener's paradise, featuring a variety of mature fruit and nut trees, including apple, pear, cherry, fig, persimmons, plums, black and English walnut, pistachios, grapes, blackberries, and kiwi. There are also two fenced vegetable garden areas with irrigation to support your homegrown lifestyle. Inside, the charm continues with a cozy stone hearth surrounding a wood-burning stove. Over the years, the home has been thoughtfully updated, including electrical and plumbing improvements, as well as a beautifully remodeled kitchen featuring new cabinetry and granite counters--while still preserving the character of the antique Wedgewood stove. The master suite is conveniently located on the main level, with two additional bedrooms upstairs. Step out back to experience breathtaking landscaping, ponds, and a sparkling pool--your own private oasis. The 24' x 40' detached shop with 220v power is currently used as an art studio, home to "Mellow Mud Pottery," and there's an additional structure serving as a gallery and office space. Both buildings offer endless possibilities for creative, professional, or personal use. Homes with this much character and opportunity are rare--don't miss the chance to make this dream lifestyle your reality!
