We are happy to introduce a one of a kind project and opportunity designed by Sepp Holzer in May 2012. (www.Seppholzer.at)
The Land:
A thriving complex of winding hugels that create courtyards filled with permanent raised beds. The hugels are stocked with perennial and self-seeding annual plants. The hugel courtyard, featuring over 1 kilometers of 6’ hugels, is sub-irrigated by surrounding ponds. Much of the courtyard has already been fenced and has additional irrigation installed for the hugels raised beds and gardens. The irrigation is primarily fed by the uppermost pond and features a back-up pump that draws water directly from the lower ponds.
The 3 acres of waterways feature seven distinct water bodies that can be individually regulated. The energized and crystal clear waters of the ponds vary in depth up to 16’ and are primed for a natural aquaculture system; they already host fish and crawdad populations. Each pond has a unique role in the system such as a fish nursery, a swimming hole, providing irrigation, a wildlife habitat & turtle nursery, or growing garden mulch.

In addition the land features 25 acres of beautiful gentle accessible hillside rich in a variety of wildflowers and native plants. 35 acres of sloped fenced pastures with stunning views over Flathead Lake and the Mission Mountains, and 25 acres of pristine wetlands that offer bird and wildlife habitat.
The Buildings:

House #1: 2200 sq., 2 story.
2 1/2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. Large living area, open kitchen, deck and
patio, large natural stone Fireplace. Electric heat, wood stove.
Completely remodeled in 2010. New pluming, new electric, new metal roof. Beautiful interior finishing’s with an artistic touch including a concrete painted kitchen counter and natural tile custom shower.
House #2: 1700sqf. Super insulated straw bale construction. 1200 sq. of living space with open kitchen with beautiful finished concrete kitchen island and painted concrete window sills. 500 sq. sunroom with floor heating. Composting toilet and bathroom facilities. Soap Stone Wood stove. Plummed for traditional flushing toilet system. Interior finish is rustic but elegant.

House #3: 30 feet diameter Yurt. 3 years old. Walls and floor are insulated. 4 glass, 4 vinyl windows, two doors. Wall to wall carpet; water and electric hook up.
House #4: 2 12X12" Timber frame cabins. Separate, but connected through a common roof. Insulated, wood stove, hot water for shower heated through wood stove. 15" high ceilings, sleeping lofts and outdoor kitchen

The opportunities are endless. The whole place is designed to host multiple enterprises that can include: a market garden, a permaculture plant nursery, aquaculture farm, organic fowl farm, mushroom cultivation, educational workshops, honey production, on farm vegetable sales, seed business, u-pick farm, worm/ insect farm, home brewed fertilizers, and animal and fruit production. Business relations have already been established with restaurants in the surrounding area. A dream come true.

Wondering why this is for sale? Was there not an ongoing project happening here?
 
The glass is neither half full or half empty. It is too big. But this tiny ad is just right:
