Hello Everyone,

I have lurked on this site for many years and would like to share the listing for my home in Suamico, Wisconsin, just outside of Green Bay.

Description relevant to this community follows the link below.

https://ranwmls.paragonrels.com/CCR/collablink/98714d95-ae4a-40a4-a4a5-5966a815907c/listings/results?&forMlsId=RANWMLS&sid=Fz7Dtese1rU

The home is listed with Haen Realty, so if you are interested, please contact Carin Haen, the listing broker, via the contact link.

The key features for this home that are relevant to the permie community are:

*2.5 acres, much of it forest.
*28 raised beds each designed as Hügelkultur
*All beds have automatic irrigation and have an inline fertilizer tank for distributing organic fertilizers (liquid sea minerals, liquid kelp, liquid fish)
*5 separate irrigation zones. 3 zones serve the 28 raised beds exclusively.
* 15 fruit trees- in the front of the home, 9 apple trees (6 different varieties - 4 Honeycrisp, 1 Wolf River, 1 Kindercrisp, 1 Cortland, 1 Zestar, 1 Firecracker) and 4 cherry trees (2 Masabi, 2 Montmorency). In the back of the home, another apple of unidentified variety, and a pear tree of unidentified variety.

Gardens have only seen organic amendments. Naturally I have strictly prohibited glyphosate and other poisons.

The home also has chickens and a large compost bin.  Chickens may go with the property to the right buyer. They are free range and have always eaten organic feed, garden scraps, and kitchen scraps. They enjoy a large coop with removable windows for the summer. An automatic door opens with the sunlight and closes with the dusk. They put themselves in each night before the door closes.

I have a small tractor that I would sell separately to the new owner if needed. I have used it to put down about 200 tons of wood chips to regenerate top soil and hold moisture. The native soil here is pure sand and the wood chips are turning into beautiful rich soil.  To paraphrase Laura Ingalls, you'd think a team of oxen pulled the soil here from Iowa.

The interior of the home has undergone a complete transformative renovation in the last 4 years since I bought the property.

Custom designed water filtration - filters down to 1 micron, water softener, and carbon filtration.  Also RO with remineralization to supply drinking water and the ice maker in the kitchen.

Epoxy coated floor in the heated garage.

I personally made the countertops and entry way bench from solid walnut slabs.

This is a turnkey micr

 
No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. This time, do it with this tiny ad:
