About This Home

North Wind Llama Ranch A rare offering set across 18.8 acres of rolling countryside, an environment shaped as much by intention as by landscape. This is a place designed for stillness, for reconnection, and for a return to what matters most. The property unfolds as a thoughtfully composed compound, where multiple dwellings and agricultural structures create a setting equally suited for a private retreat, multi-generational living, or a refined agritourism concept. Open land, pasture, and water features establish a rhythm of life grounded in nature. The primary residence offers a light-filled interior with an open kitchen and dining area, living room with fireplace, and a sunroom that transitions seamlessly to a private patio. The upper level provides a serene bedroom suite and additional sleeping quarters, positioned to take in the quiet of the surrounding landscape. A restored red barn, reimagined as a gathering space, introduces vaulted ceilings, natural materials, and a lofted living arrangement--balancing rustic character with modern comfort. A second barn with integrated living quarters continues this theme, with expansive windows framing uninterrupted views of the grounds. Additional structures--including a re-envisioned hen house--offer flexible accommodations for guests, creative use, or extended stays, each maintaining a connection to the land and its natural surroundings. And at the center of it all is The Pavillion; a multi-use space with beautiful views of the pastures, envisioned as a space for celebrating, learning, and coming together. The acreage itself is both functional and restorative: five fenced pastures, multiple run-in barns, water infrastructure throughout, and a stocked pond create a setting equally capable of supporting livestock, equestrian pursuits, or regenerative land use. Currently home to llamas, the property carries a quiet, pastoral energy that defines the experience.
