About 11653 NE 78th Ave
Here’s your chance to own 12.756 beautiful acres of land with tons of potential! Two creeks run along the back of the property, adding natural charm and a peaceful setting. The land stretches just beyond the east/west creek and the property is currently used to grow asparagus and pumpkins—but it could easily be transformed into an orchard, vineyard, hobby farm, or space for livestock. You'll find fruit trees on the property, including cherry, apple, plum, and peach. The wooded areas are full of wild blackberries, black raspberries, and even a few morel mushrooms in season. A fully insulated 24x30 garage is already on site, complete with electricity, water, a wood-burning stove, and a water heater—perfect for storage, workspace, or farm operations. An extra shed adds more storage. Important: The county does not allow residential homes to be built on this property.
