The permaculture garden:
The 1/3-acre expansive permaculture garden began in 2021 as a passion project by the owner, Melissa, who designed the space to support wildlife, restore the local ecosystem, and create a peaceful refuge for guests and pets alike. The property is graced by majestic old growth willow oaks that provide shade and shelter, creating a serene canopy for the garden below. Guests can enjoy bird watching at their leisure, as a wide array of bird species visit the feeder to feast throughout the day. Butterflies — including monarchs — flutter gracefully among the flowering plants, adding to the tranquil atmosphere.
The landscape features an abundance of food-bearing and native species — like figs, elderberries, strawberries, mulberries, and persimmon — that you're welcome to enjoy when in season. Whether you’re sipping coffee in the screened gazebo, watching your dog explore the yard off-leash, or simply soaking in the quiet beauty of this rare urban green space, this home offers a truly special kind of stay — private, peaceful, and full of natural wonder.
