Udan Farm - 40 acre
Permaculture site, is For Sale
DEC. 9, 2011, PRICE DROPPED to $160,000!
Amazing
opportunity to step into a 6 year old permaculture site in
Milledgeville, GA.
Looking
for someone who will love this farm for what it is! This
40 acre, fully-fenced (and some cross-fenced) with
3 buildings, 2 sheds (storage, laundry building-and food storage
(partially insulated), large gardens, 1 small pond, 3-5 year old
orchard,
large "tool tent", 4 cisterns on the land, hand-made water
system,
deep well, and more!
Please
note, the time, effort and money that have been put into this farm are
great. The monetary input alone is nearly DOUBLE the current asking
price, so buyer will get a heck of a deal, due to the economy. SELLER IS VERY MOTIVATED and will consider all cash offers!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Details:
This
farm is set up with 3 separate spaces, so it could house a family or a
couple or small community. There is approx 800' of road frontage, so
potential exists for community or lot split.
2 spaces (right) are 192 sq ft. each.
One has kitchen (with sink) and sleeping loft, the other has 14
ft.
ceiling, high storage/display shelves, and screened/sleeping
porch. (These two total about 800 sq ft. with screen porch).
Area between cabins was a greenhouse (poly panels have been removed.) Please not there is NOT a power system on site. Buildings were formerly solar powered and could easily be again.
South-facing windows
let
in tons of passive solar in the winter but sun is shaded by overhang
and trees in the summer. Potential for two small ponds on
either
side of these cabins.
Cabins were green built in late 2008 and
include Marmoleum flooring, paperless drywall, no VOC paint,
and all natural varnishes on counters and
cabinets. Each space has an easily heatable greenhouse space
for
chilly plants.
The
"Ethics" of Permaculture are painted above the kitchen area. (Right)
Small
garden cottage (155 sq ft.) is made from "trash", with
hand peeled pine poles on ceiling and doors open to small greenhouse
and shower area. Has woodstove. Could be used for writer's shack,
garden shed, or guests, etc.
Ample storage in two metal storage sheds. One shed is
partially insulated and can hold home-canning or extra food.
Cistern
can
be used to cool off with a swim in the summer.
Solar clothes dryer is included. ;)

Perennials, Trees, and growing
info:
Growing
season is April 1-Oct. 15, but much grows thru the winter too!
This
area is USDA Hardiness zone right on the line between 7B/8A and with a
little pampering many tender things can
survive.
Farm
has developed
perennial areas with MANY medicinal herbs and room for many more,
including meadowsweet, sweet grass, yarrow, gotu kola, ground ivy,
monardas, calendulas, lavendars, cleavers, dandelion,
bellumcanda,
catnip, stevia, milk thistle, feverfew, evening primrose, butterfly
weed, papyrus, pennywort, St. John's wort, sushni, ballonflower, rosa
canina and rugosa rose, lemon balm, vitex negundo and vitex agnus
castus, viburnum opulus and prunifolium, and much more...
There are also culinary herbs, like rosemary, thymes, spearmint and
peppermint, oreganos, marjoram, leaf celery, cilantro, etc.
Perennials include: blueberries and
asparagus, jerusalem artichoke and self-seeders like perilla, lamb's
quarters and amarath.
with 1 small pond, 3-5 year old orchard
including many fruit trees (peaches, plum, fig, apple, persimmon,
mulberries, illeagnus, fejoa, pomegranate, elderberry), pecan, walnut
and hazelnuts, and tea plants, plus lindens, hawthorne, willows, etc.,
and two large garden areas that have never had chemicals or tractors
(or any machinery) on them.
Currently
the driveway and some paths are a bit over-grown with grass but nothing
a weedeater can't handle. Some areas may need to be bush-hogged again,
but some small areas were cleared in 2009. |

Fencing
Fencing
is "solid lock" which is wrapped to ensure goats and other animals
can't pry the wire apart. There are also two strands of barbed wire,
one at the top and one at bottom, to keep out things going over or
under the fence, although an occasional deer still gets over the outer
fencing. Fencing is sturdy enough for cattle and horses and
reaches 5'
with barbed wire.
38 of the 40 acres is fenced, as above, and also
about 5 acres are within a SECOND fence, so that goats, cows, etc. can
have the run of about 32 acres, while you and your gardens are safely
kept away from the animals.

There is
housing for goats and
chickens, a two stall goat shed, next to the "tool tent" which is a
large truck tarp turned into a farm storage area. Large (19' diameter)
deck for Gazebo or Yome is built on site.
There
is also a good deal of seasoned firewood on site, and and endless
supply still standing. Sweetgums are good "coppice" trees too.
Lots
of firewood (left) and coppice-able sweet gums on site. Property has
gate on
either side-locked. Land is TOTALLY
private. Taxes are about
$1600 per year.
There is an easement for the neighbor behind, but there is little to no road maintenance and road is fenced out of property.
Please Note: This is
a PERMACULTURE Farm, so the
toilet/bathroom facilities are very basic (basic bucket humanure and
pit latrine, hand made water system (with solar powered well), one
solar heated shower in garden cottage greenhouse.
Driveway is rough (not for low cars), very rural, etc.) |
This
farm is located 12 miles west of Milledgeville, GA, which is
2
hrs. to Atlanta, 4 hrs to Mountains, and 3 hrs to the coast!
Upon final closing Buyer will
receive full tour and all previous owner info.
