Nestled on just under 30 picturesque acres, this historic property, formerly known as Cascade Farms, offers a unique opportunity to create your dream space. Once a beloved non-profit farm school, Cascade Farms welcomed students of all ages to experience sustainable farming firsthand, from cuddling baby goats and watching chicks hatch to engaging in farm chores and preparing meals from their harvest. By 2011, the farm had served 600 to 800 students annually and supported a 100-member CSA. Today, the property features a 4,800-square-foot barn with a charming rocking chair front porch, now cleared and ready for your vision—whether as a distinctive single-family home, a vibrant horse property, or a return to its agricultural roots. Embrace the potential of this versatile and storied land, ripe for transformation.
