Welcome to Sweetlife Farm, where stunning natural beauty and carefully-planned gardens delight and enchant. Locals will remember this magical property was once a working farm and beloved community gathering place, though subsequent owners have also enjoyed the property as a private retreat.

Here, a useful overview of Sweetlife’s offerings: The largest building is the main house, the garage with studio space sits across the paved parking area, and the guest cottage sits off on its own and enjoys views of the pond and orchards.The many entirely-organic gardens include countless ever-changing perennials and flowers, an herb garden, a veggie garden that enjoys all-day sun, established asparagus (a true treat), a huge berry patch with numerous varieties, strawberries, blueberries, grapes, apple and cherry trees, and much more. Other structures include a chicken coop with a predator-proofed run, a gazebo with a wood-fired pizza oven, a garden shed, a wood shed, and a building once used as an outdoor bathroom for “glamping” guests.

The charming main home sits above the pond, and offers lovely views of the pond and gardens out its many windows.

The front walkway curves gracefully through colorful cottage gardens, which were lovingly planned and planted to offer ever-changing beauty through the seasons. The walkway features natural stone pavers, which are used throughout the property’s many patios.a custom stained-glass panel graces the hefty front door, and windows are true divided-light.

This fabulous living room somehow manages to be impressive and cozy at the same time. Note the lofted spaces above, overlooking the living room. The dramatic wood-burning stone fireplace is both beautiful and functional! It was designed with a parallel liner and a fan to return heated air back to the main floor, controlled by a rheostat switch.

The living room is lined with gorgeous divided-light windows, and offers views of more flower beds, the pond, the meadows, and the forest beyond. Polished concrete floors, peeled posts, and wood-paneled ceilings combine to lend the feel of an elevated country house.

The large dining area cozies-up to the kitchen, but is separated by beautiful handmade glass-front cabinetry, lighted to display cherished items. The door straight ahead offers access to the large wrap-around patios and a fun gazebo housing a wood-fired pizza oven. French doors spill out to a covered area overlooking the grounds and pond.

The kitchen was designed to work for people who love to cook and entertain. A large farm sink is complemented by a veggie sink and chopping block prep counter. Both of these work spaces offer lovely views of the grounds.

The commercial-grade 5-burner Bertazonni range and oven will please any chef. Just beyond, you see a sliver of the large utility and mud room (see virtual tour). This area includes a huge pantry, a laundry sink, a 2nd freezer, washer and dryer, a door that leads to the mechanical room, and another door that leads out to the side patio and a dog or boot-washing station.

This view of the living room faces the primary suite, with the study/library seen through the open doorway.

The charming library/ study acts as an extension of the primary suite, and separates the sleeping area from the rest of the house. This room could serve as an office, media room, or dressing room as well.

The primary suite’s cozy sleeping space opens to a paved patio with glorious views of the landscaping and pond.

Awakening to this view would be quite a treat!

The large primary bathroom was recently renovated. The curbless shower provides the same heated floors found on the entire main level. Such a luxury! A large walk-in closet is just behind the photographer in this shot (see virtual tour).

The upstairs en-suite bedroom’s dormer windows offer both a charming architectural touch and elevated views of the grounds.

The upstairs full bath can be accessed from the 2nd bedroom or the upstairs hallway.

Tucked just beyond the lofted walkway, you’ll find this fabulous space that could serve a myriad of purposes.

The enormous bonus room is drenched in sunlight, thanks to skylights and dormered windows. This space could serve nearly any purpose(s) one could dream-up – a game room, a bunk room, a media room, an art studio? You decide!

Tucked off the living room, just outside the kitchen, a stairway leads to this enormous wine cellar and root cellar. The cedar in this room was milled from trees felled on the property. You’ll find both wine racks and storage for root veggies and/or your home-canned goods (see virtual tour).

This fabulous patio just off the kitchen and dining area offers covered space (for your grill or for rainy days) as well as a large uncovered space. The pizza gazebo is seen in the distance. Here, this patio is shaded in the afternoon by a set of stunning fir trees.

On the opposite side of the pizza gazebo lies even more gorgeous patio space for entertaining, or just for admiring the grounds. It offers views of the front yard, berry patch, chicken coop, strawberry beds, and herb gardens.

The interior of the “pizza hut” is a work of art, from the stamped concrete floor to the wood-fired oven, to the pizza-making tools. What culinary delights will you create and serve to your loved ones?

This groomed trail offers a beautiful way to amble between the main home and the guest cottage. The unspoiled forest here and on about 6 of the property’s 10 acres offers both natural beauty and tasty delights such as salal berries, black cap raspberries, red huckleberries, evergreen huckleberries, Oregon grapes, and more. Snack while you walk, pick some for canning, or leave them for the property’s thriving bird population.

This charming guest cottage offers fully-independent living (including full kitchen and laundry facilities) and has its own circular parking area adjacent to its stair-free covered back entry porch. Here, we see the elevated front deck.

This delightful covered front deck offers light through two large skylights as well as shelter from sun or rain. The views of the meadow, orchard, pond, and forest are so absolutely enchanting that your guests may never want to leave!

Here, we see a view from the living room over towards the kitchen. The interior features warm, rustic finishes that lend it a truly cozy vibe, but the beadboard and trim could certainly be painted for a more modern feel.

The living room features a propane fireplace for ambiance and additional heat, and the floors here are sustainable and comfortable cork.

The cottage offers a single bedroom complete with a standard closet, and across the hall lies a 3/4 bath with laundry.

The cottage even provides guests with a sweet and comfortable office, and is served by Net253’s super fast fiber optic internet service (as is the main home).

Here, we see the detached garage with studio space, as seen from the front path of the main home.The paved area is large enough to allow access to the garage as well as additional parking, if needed.

The studio space is graced by yet another covered patio, and is adjacent to a cottage-style herb and flower garden awaiting the next lucky owner’s additions where the rich soil was not planted this year.

This studio space could serve so many purposes – fitness room, art studio, or space for any creative pursuits. It includes a powder room and additional prep sink, and was once a commercial kitchen. Upstairs, you’ll find heaps of storage space, which was once also used as retail space for Sweetlife Farm’s fabulous products such as soap, jam, honey, and more. Locals may fondly recall “Christmas in the Country” in this space, as well.

This super deluxe chicken coop features a predator-proof run, an exhaust fan, multiple areas for your flock, a watering system, nesting boxes, and more! The fully-fenced berry patch is seen in the background.

The enormous berry patch includes several types of berries, all ripening at different times…and all quite tasty! Not in this enclosure, you will also find blueberry bushes (adjacent to the sunny fenced garden above and behind the garage)

The giant wind chimes hanging from an old cedar offer their soothing, deep tones when the breeze catches them just right. Visitors also delight in giving them go, so don’t be shy!

Here, the property’s orchard. Currently, you’ll find multiple varieties of apples and cherries. You’ll find espaliered fruits trees on the opposite side of the house near the coop and berry patch.

The thriving grapevines grace a picturesque arbor, forming a magical avenue between the giant windchimes and a stunning pair of black locust trees.

This pondside patio offers a different vantage of the pond and property. It once house a “glamping” tipi, with its adjacent outdoor bathroom (no longer in use, but it could be!).

One final look at this gorgeous country home, as seen from the meadow on the far side of the pond. Truly enchanting!
