Tired of the big city?  Tired of fancy trappings and neighbors looking in your window?Situated in the heart of the Applegate Valley Wine Appellation Area, this 18.3 acres has irrigation and is almost all level, usable ground, just ready for your grapes.  It is nestled alongside the famous Applegate River and has approx. 845 feet of river front.  It is perfect for a business retreat, used as a sanctuary, or just a great place to live.  The main house is majestic, with all the trappings of an old fashioned river lodge.  It includes eight bedrooms, two full baths, a 3/4 bath with tiled shower and heated floors. and a 1/2 bath for use outside when you're working in the beautiful gardens. Inside features of the main home include a large old fashioned kitchen and an enormous great room with wood stove.  There is also a seperate office. Almost the whole house was remodeled in 2010 and the foundation was completely redone.  There are two established fruit orchards allowing you to eat can until your heart is content.  There are also blackberries, red and golden raspberries and strawberries.  We also grow asparagus and artichokes, plus a well tended 35x70 garden area with sprinkler system. Especially stress relieving is sitting by the two ponds that have turtles, wildlife and are covered with lily pads that spring forth a large yellow blossom that lasts all summer.  We also have part of year round Cheney Creek that empties along the edge of the property. The mountain views from the front of the house are breathtaking, particularly when the skyline is covered with its winter coat.  It's especially relaxing to sit on the extra big wrap around porch and drink your morning coffee. Next to the main house is a 940 sq. ft. , 2 bedroom, 1 bath, w/d hook-up, cottage, currently used as part office and part work out facility.  At the head of the property is a two bedroom, two bath mobile that is currently rented.   The other amenities are too many to list, so come and take a look at your new home.  Because of its historic nature, this home will be sold "as is".
