About this home

Set on 5 beautiful acres in Ferndale, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers the kind of space and setup that’s hard to find. Inside, you’ll find 1,392 sq ft with newer flooring, stainless steel appliances, mini-split heating and A/C, and wiring already in place for a generator. Outside is where this property really shines. A private 1-mile nature trail winds through the back of the property, while more than 2 acres of hay pasture with seven varieties of grass and hay create a true country feel. The hobby-farm setup includes a 30x30 barn, 30x30 netted chicken run, 30x10 covered chicken run with indoor nesting area, and a 70x70 fenced garden ready for your next growing season. There’s also a shed with water and power, an individual well, and an attached 2-car garage. Whether you’ve been dreaming of chickens, gardens, pasture, room to roam, or simply more privacy, this property gives you the space to make it your own while still being just minutes from Ferndale.
