Stafford- 10 acres (5 acres for Agriculture)
Description: This property is located in the Stafford area of Scotia in Humboldt County. It is a 10-acre parcel with about 5 acres available for agriculture. The land is available for lease or perhaps for a partnership with the right farmer and terms. The soil is good and has been used for light cattle grazing in the past, but nothing in the past several years. The property has a large pond and almost 500 feet of Eel River frontage. There is a house (VRBO Rental), barn and a small greenhouse. There are also water rights from a nearby spring piped to the property. There is a very productive orchard with several varieties of apples and pears, as well as walnuts, figs, plums, persimmons and mulberries.
Owner’s Short Term Vision for the Property: Maintain Fencing, keep farmland in production and from being taken over by encroaching vegetation.
Owner’s Long Term Vision for the Property: Property contains a short term rental home (VRBO) that could offer agrotourism properties. Landowner is particularly interested in a farmer who would like to help promote VRBO as a farm-stay vacation opportunity.
Current Use: Currently house is rented as a VRBO rental and farmland is occasionally mowed.
