385 King Rd Shade, OH 45776

It is rare to find that property that has so much to offer its next steward. Formerly the Rich Tomsu farm that fed surrounding counties delicious organic produce at the Athens Farmers Market, this sixty acre spread has only been used for organic farming since 1983. With three spring fed ponds, there has been ample water for the agricultural as well as the residential needs. The land has something to offer for everyone: fields for food production and livestock, woods for wildlife and birding, even wild medicinals to harvest. The gracious house was rebuilt completely in 2012. Beautiful open layout with plenty of sunlight and some intimate areas too. Custom built in walnut book shelves and cherry kitchen cabinets by Tom Bennett. Four spacious bedrooms, plus a caretaker's apartment with its own private entrance. There's even a summer kitchen for canning or commercial food prep. This is gracious living at its best. A big barn with a new roof rounds out the picture. Almost forgot to mention the rooftop solar array. Please check with auditor about CAUV. Offers must be submitted no later than Wednesday April 18 @5pm.
