Set in rural Fillmore on the edge of the Sespe River at the base of the Los Padres National Forest, this 15.56 acre avocado and citrus ranch has everything for a gentleman farmer. The 4br/2.5bth, 2,400sf home was just completely remodeled with modern features while still respecting the original farmhouse charm! Divided into two separate living areas, the residence is ideal for a family that needs separate spaces. The downstairs has a brand new kitchen, open family room with vaulted ceilings, two bedrooms and 1.5 baths. The separate upstairs is cute as a button with new kitchenette, two bedrooms and remodeled bath. The covered patio and surrounding yard are protected on warm summer days by a stately sycamore and giant date palm tree, both standing the test of time. The property is about evenly planted between avocado and Valencia orange with an assortment of other fruit trees, including macadamia, guava, lime, lemon, peach, pear, and olive, among other varieties. The organic farmer allows free range chickens to run throughout the citrus trees, keeping the flock safe at night in a mobile hen house. The orchard is irrigated with ag shares through the Fillmore Irrigation District; a shallow private well at the river's edge could potentially be tapped to provide more water. The original stone ice house from the 1920's has been restored to make a separate office or artist's studio. A detached two car garage and adjacent carport/open barn can protect all vehicles and farm tools. This all-flat and usable property is accessed via a private gate, not shared with any neighbors. The back portion of the property would be ideal for horses and other farm animals, with ample room for an arena and equestrian barn.
