Tucked away in a lush, tree-filled setting, this one-of-a-kind property is more than just land—it’s a living, breathing ecosystem designed for connection, sustainability, and possibility. Thoughtfully improved with a thriving 5,000 sq ft organic garden (complete with irrigation), a flourishing orchard, and a wild riparian area at the back, this space is an urban sanctuary for those who believe in regenerative living.
At the heart of the property stands a 20' x 40' pavilion, an ideal gathering space for workshops, farm-to-table dinners, or outdoor events. The 12' x 12' storm cellar, buried 8' deep, ensures resilience, while the pre-installed municipal wastewater tap simplifies future development. Enhanced landscaping, featuring xeriscape plantings, a stately Live Oak, and stone-filled gabions, creates a low-maintenance yet stunning curb appeal.
With dual zoning (GR-MU-CO & SF-3), this property offers incredible flexibility—whether continuing as a community kitchen and gathering space (currently home to the Training Kitchen) or reimagining it as a commercial venture, creative co-housing, or a mixed-use hub. The two driveway entrances allow for easy accessibility, making it perfect for multi-functional use.
This is more than just real estate—it’s an opportunity to steward a space that nourishes people, community, and the planet. Ready to turn vision into impact? Let’s make it happen! Schedule your Showing Today!
