Are you looking for a personal or family homestead that is already well developed? A chance to start a micro farm business selling vegetables, fruit, herbal medicine, or flowers? A house to share with like minded folks who want to tend the earth?

The 1.4 acre Niwot Homestead provides a beautiful opportunity for someone to step into an abundant and maturing permaculture ecosystem that has been intensively tended for the last 6 years. Opportunities include:

• 12 mature, productive fruit trees including apples, pears, plums, and cherries
• A forest garden including an understory of 76 different edible fruits, perennial vegetables, and medicinal plants
• A culinary and medicinal herb garden
• A large vegetable garden and an estimated 1/2 acre of additional crop fields with drastically improved soils showing average soil organic matter of 8-16%
• Maturing perennial hedgerows full of elderberries, wild plums, Siberian pea shrubs, hazelnuts, and three leaf sumac
• Infrastructure to support chickens, pigs, ducks, and potentially other small livestock (potential opportunity to keep some of the exising livestock)
• Outdoor kitchen and gathering areas
• Relationships we are happy to help you continue to facilitate with local individuals and businesses to acquire wood chips, manure, and livestock feed (ie; brewing grain, vegetable scraps)
• Well water during the growing season (well has never run dry)
• Rural residential zoning with no HOA that permits limited agricultural activities and sales – happy to discuss what has/has not been comfortable for the neighbors
• We are also happy to discuss continuing our involvement in the transition period or thereafter if that is desirable (or not)
• A 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house (could be made to have 4 bedrooms) with a wood burning stove, spacious kitchen, and beautiful view

House Listing. The owners (Rod and Barb) are hoping to sell directly to a community buyer without listing the property (with a real estate agent to facilitate the actual sale), so it is not formally listed. The previous Zillow Listing gives a good idea of the interior of the house, which has not changed much – ignore the pictures of the yard! They have gotten price comps from a couple different realtors which put the price in the $1.2-$1.5 million range. Further price discussions can happen directly with the owners.

If you are interested, we’d be delighted to show you the property and share more information. Please reach out to Amy at niwothomestead@gmail.com, and I will connect you with the owners so we can all find a time for a visit.
