Property Description
Truly a Garden of Eden, crafted and cultivated by the original owner. This extraordinary 5.54-acre estate in Porterville showcases over 300 palm trees, including Canary Island and date palms, and an impressive 218 producing fruit trees, including apples, peaches, plums, apricots, citrus, and 18 grape varieties. Carefully enclosed grapevines and netted orchard sections reflect the seller's meticulous care of each tree and harvest thoughtfully nurtured and protected. Once featured in Fruit Gardener by the California Rare Fruit Growers as an ''ultimate do-it-yourself project'' in Extreme Fruit Growing, this is a rare opportunity for the true enthusiast. Whether you're a seasoned grower, a passionate hobbyist, or seeking the charm of a gentleman's farm, this property delivers both productivity and peace. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath custom home, built in 1991, offers 1,681 sq. ft. of comfortable living. Large windows fill the home with natural light, offering views of the lush surroundings and creating a warm, inviting ambiance throughout. Thoughtfully maintained, the home includes a water softener system complete with a reverse osmosis in the kitchen. Property includes access to three water sources, including the highly desired Sierra Mutual Water District and four shares in the South Tule Independent Ditch Company that are available for purchase outside of escrow. Additional highlights include a thriving vegetable shade house, gated entry, foothill views, and close proximity to Lake Success. A rare legacy estate where lifestyle, land, and love for nature come together beautifully.
