About This Home

As of January 2018

This gentle 1.26 acres in Ballard offers two homes in a private setting at a GREAT PRICE!
The main 3 bedroom, 2 bath updated farmhouse features a first floor master, huge sunny bonus room or formal dining room, living room with a fireplace and a back deck under the oaks oozing original valley charm. The perfect pied a terre (one bedroom guest cottage) is completely detached for your compound lifestyle, a caretaker or guest.

Enjoy mature landscaped grounds, rose covered trellis and fresh picked fruit from your own trees or allow the patios and back deck to lure you to that outdoor serenity or a casual conversation with food and wine. Ideally located within a short walk to the award winning Ballard Inn and Restaurant, local vineyards and the Ballard School.
