A homesteaders daydream! This woodland cottage is perfect for the burgeoning farmer and/or outdoor enthusiast. Someone who would delight in growing their own food and stewarding a patch of Southern Lancaster Counties in beloved River Hills. This gem is nestled beneath two beautiful hawthorns, and this bungalow boasts the sounds of a babbling brook that runs along the eastern property line. This 1.2 acre property has been carefully planned and planted with medicinal and native pollinators including seven Elderberry shrubs. The garden bed soil has been amended to grow lettuces, herbs and medicines right in your front yard! The eastern facing slope has been planted with a patch of endangered Goldenseal root and the coveted American Ginseng; both will produce for years to come. Hike down to the creek to find newly planted patches of ramps and swaths of nettles. The whole property offers beds of inoculated woodchips and logs that will fruit with Shiitake, Wine Cap, Lions Mane and Oyster mushrooms for years to come. Be self sufficient! There is an on site chicken coop built in 2023 that can house a flock of 12; seller is willing to leave behind some of their current laying flock made of Rhode Island Reds and Americaunas that lay BLUE eggs! Seller is also willing to leave behind installed electric fencing for free ranging hens. Perhaps the most tranquil aspect of this woodland gem is its position on the border of 90 acres of state gamelands. Sellers have trekked miles of trails through the woodlands that border the property, including a 10 minute hike from your BACK DOOR to Lancaster's most popular summer swimming hole, the Pequea Gorge, right along the 2.5 Trolley Trail. The gamelands behind the home are flush with Chicken of the Woods, Morel, Reishi and Maitake mushrooms. This woodland gem is ideal for foragers, fisherman, hunters, hikers and even bikers! The property is located within a five minute drive to the Enola Low Grade Trail - Martic Forge access point and is a fifteen minute drive to the iconic Sickmans Mill tubing launch and lunch spot.
